Comments	Tilden's Scuba Center(MM 49.5) was very safety conscious and requires a dive guide on all Thunderbolt wreck dives. Crew was very helpful and did very complete dive briefings.Dive boat was in good condition and had all necessary safety equipment. Did not stay or eat locally but traveled on to Looe Key(MM 27.5) after the morning dives. Thunderbolt was an excellent wreck and if visibility had been better, the dive would have been spectacular.
