Comments	In general terms I had no surprises. Wrecks were fantastic, dive staff nice, flexible and attentive to your requests. The last day I got just a little frustrated because guides couldn't find the most desired wreck, the KATSURAGISAN MARU, but they promptly compensate that with other fantastic wreck (OITE). It seems that the main cause for not finding the wreck was either loss of marking buoy or sinking of this buoy due to possible strong currents (the wreck is located in the northeast pass). Anyway, I think they could start using portable GPS instead of relying in landmarks and buoys only. In case of buoy loss we could dive the wreck just dropping ourselves right over it. The other issue that frustrated me a little bit was the ships' artifacts. It looked to me that in some wrecks, divemasters displaced small artifacts from original places in order to allow less experienced divers look at them without the need of penetration diving. This took the originality of the wreck leaving an artificial climate to the dive. Despite the above mentioned problems, I have no complaints about the operation, the staff and dive itself. It was a fantastic experience that I recommend to any diver.
