Did the divers use a rinse tank?Thanks Kathy! The 4th person - non- diver- did not get sick.....
It sounds like Norovirus, that infects the water supply - so it doesn't matter if you are a vegetarian or not.
Yes- we used the rinse tanks at the air tank drive thru at Buddy Dive- which had separate tank for regulators.... good point!!
Norovirus has been making the rounds stateside. Looking at the CDC site, the virus seems to peak around February. Would make sense that a popular destination for tourists would suffer the same kind of stats. So sorry!It sounds like Norovirus, that infects the water supply - so it doesn't matter if you are a vegetarian or not.
I have never seen cleaner looking rinse tanks anywhere than those a Buddy drive through. Did you report the illness to their office? If it is coming from Buddy, there should be others.
