These expeditions are not geared, Henkel cautions, toward novices. The shallowest dive is about 150 feet deep. Participants are required to verify capabilities and physical condition in advance. There is nothing else to do. Only about 15 people live full time on the island, in conjunction with the diving program.
Accommodations are Spartan.
There is one small lodge. The only furniture in Henkel's room was a twin bed and dresser. All food must be imported. A supply boat arrives once a month. We ate pork, chicken and steak at dinner.
