Comments	Steve runs a nice dive op. A small 6 pack is the reason we chose him. Very laid back, and long bottom times are all good reasons to pick his dive op. He does the longest dive briefs that we have ever had. Out comes the fish book to show you what you might see. At the site, he will go over the reef site, which way we are going, what the bottom looks like--just great. He takes his time underwater too. It's nice to stop and watch cleaning stations, or some fish behavior, looking into all the nooks and crannies, not making it a race. During the SIT time sandwiches are passed around, and off to the next site. Expect though most of the day for diving. You leave the habor anywhere from 9:30-10 and don't come back til 1:30-2. The boat does not have a head, might be a consideration for some. We were very pleased with Steve and his operation and would not hesitate to recommend him. (we dove in May and with a 3mm. Had to rent a 3mm shortie to go overtop of our wetsuits, found it cold.)
