Comments	The dives were pretty shallow, 20 to 30 feet, but that is the way it is here and I can have fun diving anywhere. My complaint is with the 45 minute time limit. My buddy and I both came up with 2000 psi, and we were the first in and last out. As a dive professional I understand that for the DM and Capitan it is a job, but I don't think extending bottom time to an hour is unreasonable. My buddy was also a little put off when the DM asked for a tip on the way back to the dock. And judging by the lack of a rush to the tip jar, she wasn't alone. I would dive with this operator again, but I would keep my expectations a little lower.
