mcw331 Posted November 8, 2004 #1 Share Posted November 8, 2004 We were in GC Nov 4th on the Conquest and were able to dive. 1st dive down to 95ft though the canyons and to the wall. Some of the canyons are 4-5 feet deeper (you can see where the sand was washed out. reef in great shape. The mooring even held. 2nd dive small wreck & reef in 55-60 ft storm surge did move part of the wreck around and broke more of it up. Fish everywhere and very curious. Even more so than usual.

bruce-r Posted November 9, 2004 #2 Share Posted November 9, 2004 That's a nice angelfish photo. But you forgot to say who you went diving with and if you liked their service or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcw331 Posted November 9, 2004 Author #3 Share Posted November 9, 2004 We have dove with the same small operator for many years. And Are always thrilled with their service. Seasports owned by Capt Butch & his wife Karen... They pulled their small boats out of the water just prior to the hurricane and were fine. They were actually doing assessment dives 1-2 weeks later. Currently their employee Andy is running the boat and makes an excellent divemaster never more than 8 on a trip. We dove with only 3 :) (their 1st trip since Ivan). I think it was about $95 for a two tank dive +gear (we brought mask fins, snorkel) so gear was $25. I usaully set up a time based on cruise ship arrival time and Butch tell us where to meet usually a short cab ride. We usually are slashing on the wall within 25-30 min of getting off the ship. They will tailor the dive to your desires and experience level. We have dove with them 5 times over the last 10-12 years and have never been disappointed. if you want you can e-mail Capt Butch at seasports@weststartv.com P.S. I know a great guy in Cozumel if you are going there. Happy Cruising / Diving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruce-r Posted November 10, 2004 #5 Share Posted November 10, 2004 mcw, thank you for taking the time to reply. As you reinforce, the small dive operators are usually the better choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
