Comments Gary and Liz have a great team and attitude. They are very friendly and knowledgeable. They became old friends immediately. They have a perfect boat and limit the boat to about 8 divers. Very short boat rides and flat seas make the experience very easy. A new boat is on the way as well. My 15 year old daughter got certified this week and loved the experience. I was worried as she’s pretty green. She was a pro in 3 days. I can’t say enough good things about the experience so I won’t - just sign up. The Ritz Carlton is also THE place to stay. Not cheap, but the experience is exceptional. The water on 7 Mile Beach is also the nicest I’ve seen. It’s a busy little island, but if you are going here, these two choices will meet your expectations. LTD picks you up at the Ritz at 7:30. The boat is 3 minutes away. Drop off about noon.
