Comments Did a twilight and night dive and then a 2 tank morning dive. For the night dives, Joe gave an excellant briefing about the dive and the fish we might see. He let me stay down until my air was low after the other diver had to surface. Very good.

Linda was the guide for the morning dives. She spent a lot of time explaining about the topography, the fish and showed us which fish we wouldn't be able to see anywhere else except in Kauai. She was very good during our dives, pointing out interesting fish, caves, and swim throughs. Again, she allowed me to continue my dive after the other divers surfaced.

Both guides had a Etch a Schetch style slate that they wrote very interesting notes like the names of the critters that we were seeing. Then they erased it and wrote the next note. Very interesting and I learned a lot more than I had on dives with other operators.

I would dive with her and the rest of her shop anytime I return. First class operation. Very good value and great people to dive with.
