Comments The operation allows only 10 divers on the boat but I dove one day with one other diver, one day with three others, one day with five others and one day with 6 others. I entered the water first each day and dove directly to the bottom to wait for the others. The dive masters were all experienced ( no kids!). The pointed out fish under water and named any animal you pointed to. Overall, this was one of the best experieces I have had in a very long while. If you like diving with small groups with alot of leaway, go with them.

Enforced diving restrictions The restrictions were somewhat loose if you had your own computer. You were able to go as deep as you wanted and could stay under water for longer than non computer divers. For the most part, there was no hassle under water at all.
