All dive equipment except for wetsuits, remains on the boats for the duration of your trip, the crew gives everything a fresh water rinse daily. Wetsuits and skins are hung up to dry in an outdoor area. Tanks are 80 cu ft aluminum compact 80's. These cylinders are 4 pounds heavier in the water than a standard 80 and allow you to wear less weight on your body. Visibility is typically between 100 and 150 feet and sea conditions are usually calm.
Most dive sites are in the lee and rough seas are rare.
The dive sites are almost all walls so the possibility of going deep is always available. You need not dive deeper than 40 feet if you are keeping a shallow profile. Generally the first dive of the day has interesting things to see as deep as the 130 foot sport diving limit. Second dives are more toward the top of the wall. On afternoon dives we try not to exceed the maximum depth of the first dive to keep a conservative profile.
