Comments	Solid operator with competent crew. We had 9 divers on a ~30' boat with twin 250 outboards and emergency oxygen. Most divers were new or hadn't been wet in a long time so not surprising that DMs were strict but I was surfacing with 1100 and 1200 psi. Cost for 2 tanks to the local reef (~30 mins) directly out from San Pedro were $250 BZ ($125 US) and included all gear. I was offered a $20 BZ ($10 US) discount because I had all my own gear. Surface interval was on shore at San Pedro Entry was by giant stride through a side door and exit was via ladder.
