Comments Very small outfit, run by a husband and wife who are very nice. I like to take a lot of photos and usually take a private dive guide. They said I wouldn’t need one but you DO NEED ONE or you will be swimming in a group and silt will be thrown up - very unpleasant. I finally insisted on one and they got me one - much better !!
I also let them know ahead that my spouse was with me and we would be limited to 60 ft as she is only certified to 60 ft with PADI, I am a dive master and also GUE certified - 60 ft is great for photos but they ignored this limitation on depth and they were going to take us through a tunnel to 90 feet- completely inappropriate and we lost a full day of diving- very upsetting. Again, I should have insisted on a private dive guide - and once I did - was able to go some great photography at 69 feet and my spouse enjoyed it as well.
Great eco dive sites in the area but let them know you requirements re: photography, your limitations re: froth certification and insist the accommodate. I have no problem paying extra for the private dive guide - safety is essential at all times and there is no way they should have suggested we take my spouse to 90 feet!
