I saw that. Was planning to ask you what they're like. Small fast or big cattle boats. What are the odds on getting to Punta Sur, Columbia or Maracaibo if requested? Whoever we end up with, I'm hoping to get at least a couple of those dives in. We just did two days of 2 tanks in the Keys last month and our first day we ended up with lame really shallow dives because the place booked us with a bunch of snorkelers. We switched to a different shop for day 2 after that. I've been diving with the same shop in CZM for a really long time, but their prices have grown while some others haven't and now I'm looking at potentially $325 more for three divers to dive five 2 tanks with them. I've seen more than a few shops that offer discounts for 4 or more divers to make it a little closer, but there are only 3 divers in our group. Was thinking about Dive with Martin. They have competetive rates and I've heard good things about them.
Of course if any other dive ops on here want to offer a package deal for three of us to do 5 days I'll give it serious thought.
My first time to Coz was last August when I went with the dive shop I got my cert's with. They use Chucho for all their trips to Coz. They used a boat that has mostly covered seating with a dive platform on it, with a crew of three or four not including Christi and Jesus. Jesus (Chucho) grew up in Coz and knows it inside out! We did both Columbia Shallows & Columbia Deep, Santa Rosa Wall, San Francisco Wall and numerous other sites! We got to dive our computer limits and went wherever the group agreed upon! Also they will pick you up at whatever dock is closest to you. I'm the dodo waiving in the photo
