Comments Wish I'd known to save my money. Don't bother with nitrox. For the short time they let you in the water, the diving was not worth the trouble. Very expensive trip--$105 for 2-tank plus $40 extra for nitrox (which we hardly used at all); cattle boats. Staff was anxious to get you in the water and back out of the water. Had a 20 minute surface interval, then back in for 2nd dive. 2nd dive was so very shallow, it eliminated need for a safety stop. Beautiful water, but not much to see. Few fish, probably due in part to enormous lionfish there; few living corals or sponges; quite boring. Met an instructor who'd flown all the way from Germany to Long Island--same result. Beautiful water, not much to see; pretty boring. Wouldn't bother to dive there again, unless I went with another operator. This operator was a 3-ring circus and something serious, experienced divers should avoid at all costs. Live and learn.
