Comments	Don Foster's appeared to be a well organized operation, balancing many divers and boats at once. However, the restrictions and hand-holding really ruined the dives for us. My husband who is an instructor and has over 1700 dives and I who am an advanced diver both brought our log books to show our recent dive activity. We were treated as divers on our very first dive, and held to an 80 foot depth limit and 40 minute dive time (1st dive). The divemaster (who was friendly) said that we had to follow him, and banged his tank at me at 29 minutes to start up. I was the last one on the boat, at exactly 40 minutes dive time, including the safety stop. The second dive was with a different dive master, and I actually got about 45 minutes dive time (50 feet max depth). I understand being safe, but we are experienced certified divers with computers. We are trained to dive beyond 80 feet, and to use our computers to moniter our dive safely. Overall, I was very disappointed.
