Comments	1000 island diving is the best wreck diving around. you can dive there; have short boat rides (less than 1/2 hour); no sea-sickness and still great viz - the only thing to contend with is the current. Wrecks are in great shape and many wreck are accessible from shore! The dive operation leaves alot to be desired. Broken boats are the norm; delays in diving makes afternoon dives night dives; slow tank fills with seemly dangerous overfills. The crew was helpful and made an attempt at safety - although some of the practices did not seem that safe. On the admin side - the price always changed, nothing was done in writing, no timely feedback when setting up the trip; and no definate answer in getting details before arriving. Have used this operation 2 times - never again!
