Kimberley, I'm glad you are working hard to improve the operation. When I was there in 2010, the boats were scows and the operation very disorganized, not unlike some of the comments above. There was no fresh fruit or snacks on the dive boats, limited fresh water and they were cramped by my usual Cayman and Bonaire standards. The ladders on the boats were wooden and rickety, there weren't enough tanks for a 2 tank dive so we ended coming back to the resort between dives. There were lots of delays and a planned 3 tank day often ended up as a 2 tanker. One of the DMs even managed to put himself into deco while leading a dive, everybody else had the sense to stay shallower and come up sooner, and the boat night dive was in a word, unsafe.
I note that you are catering to resort guests and cruise ship passengers. One of the many beefs I had when there was that the boats were held up while waiting for cruise shippers to come to dive. Turquoise Bay is in a beautiful location with lovely reefs which almost made up for the challenges we had in diving there.
