Comments	Fantasea is a well run, responsive organization operating out of a major hotel property. Postives are a friendly staff which asks for suggestions before choosing a site and sets up equipment for second dive. 40' boat was never overcrowded. Local divers who have bought a season program augmented paid staff. Divers are tallied before boat leaves dock and after every dive. Negatives are no storage facility for diver-owned or rented equipment (have to charge out fresh rented equipment each day). Dive staff could do more in the way of helping divers up onto dive step. Once you're on board, they are very helpful.
