Comments	It was my first dive with this outfit; they have a quite a few boats but the first thing that caugth my attention was that Gary (the owner) came out to greet all boats, introduce the crews, give a general safety talk and see us off. When you see that level of commitment from an owner it is a good sign! I did 2 day 2 tank dives; since I was going by myself I buddied up with people in the boat. The diving was great; our dive master did a great job of explaining to us the details of the currents of the Island where we were diving (sea Lion Island) and how to "read" the body language of sea lions so we could all have a safe and fun dive. Gary´s boat crew were extremely professional and helpfull; they even carried O rings in the boat "just in case". To top it all of they make some of the best fish tacos for lunch I have ever had. It would have been easier if they would have facilitated the budding up of divers as my first day buddies were very low skilled divers. Bottom line for my money Gary´s is a great option when diving San Carlos, Safe, Professional and Great service.
