thank you all - I will check into the debth restriction for the 10 year old! good point. we are looking seriously at the Cuan Law because one of our group is not a diver. And some of us are not totally hard core - and it looks like it offers a lot. But, our group isn't 18 as previously thought - it is only 11. So I do worry about the cancellation. We will see! thanks to all of you who have helped me. I love Scuba board!

You won't have to worry about cancellation with the Cuan Law because they require a minimum of 8 to sail so you're good to go. We loved the Cuan Law and think it would be an excellent choice for your group.
