Hi.
My wife and I are returning to GC in Sept, it will be our 5th visit there, 4th diving. We are intermediate divers with 20 years and maybe 60-70 dives in our logs. We travel with mask fins and snorkels, and might buy dive computers before this trip. We typically have rented all other equipment from one shop, did 3-5 boat dives and a few shores in a 7 day visit. Last time we rented and went out with Divetech and really liked them. Unfortunately this Sept they are hosting a large photography group and are very booked. They have space on some afternoon boats, but no mornings. Morning boats have always worked well for us, but I would not rule out afternoon trips.
Lastly, we have shore dove Babylon last 2 times there (a bit of challenge for our level/experience but we love it) and will do it again this Sept one way or another. Going by boat would be ideal.... shore diving with maybe another couple or two would be good too.
So looking for other dive shop recommendations, good rentals, boat operations and *could* go to Babylon ( I know they never know until day of sail). We have used Eden Rock before also, they seem OK.
If there are comprehensive discussion threads on GC shops here already, please just say so. I searched a bit, but most of what I did find seems outdated, etc.
Thanks!
