Comments	The good is that Jeremy is now the new owner of the dive operation. Previously, he had worked for the owner, Oracio. There is no one in the Caribbean that comes close to his operation. It starts with 120's that last for ever underwater. He offers towels to all divers and warm, soft,long dive jackets for the whole time you are on board along with fruit, cookies plus plain and flavored water. Jeremy sets up all gear and cares for it at the end of the day. Dives generally last well over 1 hour with the large tanks and the jackets are a welcomed sight during the surface interval. I dove with a 3 mil suit and the next time I will be diving with a 5 mil. The dives are long and wonderful but chills came in for me especially durning the 2nd dive. Predive briefings were great, explained well so all were in agreement and understood. Went out of his way to show both the large and the small found U/W. Used an U/W writer to question and explain to the divers what they were seeing. Lots of eagle rays, great turtles and great interaction with 1 nurse shark in particular. The boat is small with a max of 3-7 divers but still enough room for a camera rinse tank. He always asked "how can I make this dive experience better for you". The diving and service with Jeremy and " Living Underwater" doesn't get any better than this no matter where you go.
