    Dive Operator Best Practices

    I must say, I enjoy the amenities of fresh fruit on the boat after the dive, good dry space, and the like, as much as the next diver, and I would be extremely suspicious of an operation that didn't go over basic procedures (O2 kits, getting on and off, etc.) in their briefings.
