Comments This is an annual trip for our dive club- We love it. Captain Daniel and Captain Mike done a wonderful job. They helped make our diving fun. We had equipment issues and the dive shop even loaned us tools. The Dive Shop has lockers over it. They can lock your equipment up at night and you do not have to carry it to your room and dry it over the rails. Lots of new divers- they make everyone feel welcome. We had several divers from Peachtree Dive Center join us. The boat was comfortable and not a cattle boat. Head count after dives and roll call before coming back to shore. They have Oxygen on board and First Aid Kit. Plenty of water or soft drinks. Great Operation.
Hope to see them again soon. We had one group take out the six pack boat to Spiegel Grove- Same items on that boat also.
