Aquaventure Reef Club... I've done six in a day with them, if you can handle it physically and within your NDLs, they'll make it happen...
These guys are great to work meals around your diving schedule, and generally the daily schedule is
8:30 out for 2 dives, back by 11:30 or 12:00
Lunch
Out at 2:00 pm for 2 afternoon dives, back by 4:30 or 5:00
Out at 5:45 for a night dive (this is your limiting factor as they generally need four divers to make the call)...
For my sixth dive, we often will get up and do a dive at 6am off the resort to a helicopter wreck or along the slope... the helicopter wreck sits at 30m, and I love diving the place, there's always something strange going on there...
First time I dove it, there was a family of lion fish hanging out, mating pair that literally just sat on the side of the helicopter and starred back at you while 4-5 juveniles floated around under the belly between the skids...
This last trip, the juveniles were hiding in a little sunken skiff next to the helicopter, one of the adults was dead, the other kind of hovering around it guarding the carcasss (when we went down again two days later, no carcass to be seen)... one of the comical things we saw was on the edge of the skiff, there was a large crack in the hull, and spaced out about 4 inches apart a trio of young eels about the thickness of a garden hose with little white beady eyes... they would poke their heads out in unison, and then back into the hull as you approached... also there is a pretty good school of decent sized bat fish patrolling the wreck these days... the hover a little ways out into the 40m range, then come circling in towards the wreck when you have your back turned... there is a large tire pile set up as an artificial reef, and environmentalists will complain that coral won't grow on them, but there's plenty of wildlife going on in and around those tires... like I say, a fun morning dive...
So, that would be my choice, I'll be going back, I've tried more high scale places like El Pinoy, but Aquaventure still gets my vote for their service and the overall family feel of the operation... you really feel like you are hanging out at your favorite uncle's place...
