Comments Mediterranean Sea diving is just okay, no large Pelagics or large fish.
the boat was just okay, the owner was running a group of a dozen snorkelers, a group of divers learning open water and 8 Experienced divers. The real problem was all groups were trying to get in and out of the Water at the same time. The boat was crowded. the boat had life jackets but no information was given to the group as to location and how to put on. The boat would anchor at the dive sites but if any of the group had a problem their emergency small boat was in for repair and a crew member would need to jump in the water and swim for a rescue. No indication of any measures for Covid. The town (KAS) was full of vacationers but a very small percentage were wearing masks.
