Dive Policy

Dive own profile no
Enforced diving restrictions [an excellent dive operation with attention to safety. I wanted to make the trip to the chinchorro reefs but it was too choppy/strong currents. Still, the diving here was excellent as was the entire staff--laid back, friendly, but all good divers who use their heads. I would go back in a heartbeat.]
