We visited Green Turtle around 3 years ago. We spent a week living on a sail boat anchored off the island. First, you are going to love Green Turtle. Super cool island, great people and the diving was pretty decent. Rent a golf cart and tour the island. Yep a golf cart will fit down the small town streets and cover the island. Bet there are only a dozen or so gas vehicles on the island.

Well it was 3 years ago and I only did two dives with Brendel.
I preferred diving from the sail boat dingy. If you have access to a boat, several of the reefs are marked with mooring bouys.
Brendels, ??
The boat was over crowded. The majority were snorkelers. OK, except Brendel got upset if the divers did not immediately clear the area under the boat. He apparently wanted this area free for the snorkelers. Happened to be the best spot on the reef.

Did not like the owner operators attitude.
I took a couple that were new divers. On the first dive the lady was slightly underweighted. Pulled her down and all was OK. Brendle was overly impatient over the delay. Then her husbands tank slipped. Not a problem as I saw the situation and corrected it. The divemaster got a little ahead of us due to this delay. Again not a problem. The dive brief indicated that the DM would follow a ledge and eventually do a 180 back to the boat. So I led us delayed divers in the same direction. Sure enough we soon ran into the DMs group on their return. We fell in with them and returned to the boat. Back on the boat the DM gave me, a much to stern lecture, for not staying with him. I asked if he knew the reason we were delayed. He did not see my friends tank slip. Soo, dive sites OK. But I simply did not like their attitude.
I think Brendels is the only dive operator on Green Turtle. And, if you go you must dive. Surely I just hit them on a less than perfect day.
