Completed AOW with fiancee. Their boat doesn't have a head or anywhere to change, so be prepared to slip out of whatever you wore from the dock directly into your exposure suit. The best dive was the Navy Barges, which had an incredible array of tropical fish and creatures. We could have dived that site many times and never tired of it. Had two problems with rental BC: 1) Low pressure hose leaked badly and I lost a fair amount of air in short time - ended up taking buddy's (fiancee's) octo for safety stop or I would have run out of air. 2) tank came loose in the water (this happened to two other divers as well) after the staff set up the equipment. Best advice is to check your gear before diving. Hotel was so-so, but modestly priced and we were there to dive anyway, so no big deal. |
