I'm going to be in George Town for a day as part of a cruise. The times make it difficult to get in a boat dive unless I use an operator catering mainly to cruise passengers (not ideal).
I would like to do some shore diving instead, however, none of the family members I'm traveling with are divers. At home, I typically dive solo. While shore diving in George Town, I would prefer to avoid the expense and scheduling complexities inherent in a guided dive.
I understand that solo diving is discouraged by some local quasi-governmental body; some claim this rule has the force of law.
Does anyone have any experience with the extent to which this is enforced by the various dive shops in George Town that cater to shore divers?
