To the best of my knowledge the only charter running there is Fling Charters - we went out with them for Mother's Day weekend, we had such a blast we're going back fro Father's Day!

Seriously is an amazing trip. We had blue skies, 150'+ vis, zero current and flat seas.

Not sure about that, you could always email and ask. Saturday we had flat, calm in the morning growing to a little over 1' by the evening. Sunday, it was a little rougher. 3-4's, occasionally larger. Boat handled it fine, divers handled it fine. BY now we should all be able to handle a ladder in rougher conditions.
