Does anybody else know the story behind the plaque. If everyone in your group is certified and are willing to pay the extra cost. After diving that area one of two times, next stop is to hook-up with a dive shop and do some boat diving to the better dives. Devil's Throat is an awesome dive,,,,,but its not a must-do dive, just because you think, you HAVE to do it. But thats really the problem.
Currents change rapidly or are to strong to start the dive.
And here the experience of a good divemaster plays a huge role. In other words. There are no bragging rights to dive any particular dive sites. And although the throat is a beautiful mysticle place, there are lots of reefs and other cool places in Coz. I did it 3 years ago, as a newly certified Advanced Open Water diver, and I enjoyed it very much, and didn't have a bit of trouble.
