Where is the dive going on which day? 

We rarely promise specific sites for a variety of reasons. Number one is the combination of  weather and sea states and number two is that except for a handful of sites each site has only one mooring. The moorings were placed to eliminate anchor damage so if another boat has the mooring we are forced to go elsewhere. The exception to this rule is the Wreck of the Rhone. The wreck is requested often so we pick one or two days each week to visit and try to get all our Rhone divers to agree upon a particular day. Due to the depth and layout of the wreck, it takes most divers two dives to fully cover the site. 

What is your dive schedule? 

We do two dives every morning, leaving at 9:30 am and returning between 12:30 and 1:30 pm, and one dive every afternoon departing at 3 pm and returning between 4:30 and 5 pm.  Our Discover Scuba Diving class is offered on Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons and we have guided snorkeling tours on Tuesdays, Thursday and Saturday afternoons. Discover Scuba Diving starts at 1:30 pm and the dive goes out at 3 pm while the snorkel tours departs at 3 and returns between 4:30 and 5. 

Do I need reservations for the trips? 

Our boat holds up to ten divers and twelve  snorkelers so reservations are always a good idea. Discover Scuba Diving requires a self medical checklist and equipment needs to be tried on BEFORE the start time. 
 
Should I bring my own gear? 

Yes, buoyancy control devices and regulators that you are familiar with can only  enhance your diving experience. Fins are a must, our rental fins are designed for surface snorkeling and “don’t cut the mustard” for the demands of pushing a fully laden diver against a current. 

In our minds, ScubaPro is the gear of choice, therefore our rental equipment is ScubaPro - all new as of October 2002 and maintained by a ScubaPro Technician.  So for those “old school divers” whose BCD and Reg set is at least 20 years old (you boast), feel free to leave them at home. Our equipment will out perform anything of that era. 
 

Pet Peeves - we’ve asked our staff what diver behaviors bother them most.  Randy says it’s divers who follow so  close to his fins that he can’t kick.  Claire hates when she gives hand signals that are ignored.  Ben really dislikes it when divers fib about their air consumption, and forget that not everyone can compete with a professional dive guide who uses hardly any air at all.  Pat gets annoyed by divers who throw their gear all over the boat and then take 20 minutes to get in the water.  And we all universally cringe inwardly whenever a diver asks for 26 pounds of lead. 
 
Any other questions, be sure to drop us an email.  We look forward to diving or snorkeling with you!
