Comments had two back to back dives, the first aborted dive then a reDive took place due to current, poor vis and a child diving with no open water experience who was out of control and could have been seriously injured. The childs father was mentally absent but our dive guide did the right thing, eventually and aborted the dive and moved use to dive 1 to a safer site.

second dive much more fun, sans child

the rest of the dive operation and experince was excellent with great staff with a wonderful attitude
