I always hear people say (when referring to dive ops), "they're good" "they're not good" "they're great" - so my question to you is... What makes a dive operation good to you?
For me - I like dive ops that will be prepared for my camera setup, and have a deck hand that will pass it to me after I get in the water, and they'll grab it for me when I return to the boat.
I also want a dive op that has a friendly deck staff, and where they have snacks and drinks for free.
I also want an op that doesn't expect me to dive a certain profile, or to have to stay with the group. I don't mind having a 1 hour time limit on my dive (that seems reasonable) but less than 1 hour seems unreasonable to me...
What things do you look for? What makes certain ops better than others??
