Great if you want to get ripped off.
The 3 dives I did with West End Divers were some of my most unpleasant dive experiences I’ve ever had in my 25 years of diving (~300 dives). The dive operator BARELY leaves the habor to take you on a ‘boat dive.’ Luckily, the coral looked fantastic but there was no fish life. The dive master went nuts underwater over spotting a small eel— cause that’s the level of fauna you should aspire to see when you barely clear the harbor.
The divemasters/instructors will also bully you into carrying next to no weight underwater. Apparently, if you request weight, you were taught “incorrectly” and “your instructors should have their credentials revoked.” Last I checked, most of us dive recreationally and we do so with weight to enjoy the entire dive, including the last half of the dive when our tanks get lighter. Bullying customers into not using weight is not only poor form, it’s unsafe.
The dive masters/instructors need remedial training on how to give feedback and how to provide instruction. I dont recommend taking any classes/dives with these amateurs. - via
