Comments Diving off the Emerald Princess. Marvin, owner of the dive operation, said the cruise line requires a very conservative dive profile which they followed. First dive was a drift dive on a reef with entry being a back roll from a good height. Crew was attentive on top and vigilant below the water. We got separated from the group while taking pictures and soon heard banging on a tank. Responding with a quacker we were quickly reunited. Nice reef with plentiful coral and sponge life. The second dive was a wreck with lots of fish taking refuge from the current. Many photo opportunities since the fish did not appear to be afraid and stayed close.
