Coco View - Valet Style?

[smb1014]

Does Coco View Resort offer "valet style" of diving. Do the divemasters et your gear up after each dive or is it up to the diver to change tanks at the end of each dive? Do the divers have to take their gear off the boat at the end of each day? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

They will set up your gear for you if you like. I keep my regs with me so they can't set up mine. I prefer to do it myself. I end up resetting it the way I want it anyway.

As for taking if off the boat...well no, the second dive is a hybrid dive. You dive off of the boat near the resort and shore dive/walk out. So there is no gear remaining on the boat if you do the second dive of each set. I suspose they will if you don't do the second dive but you still need to rinse it.

Yes, if you put your tag in your dive locker they will set up your gear for you on the boat, then during the surface interval they switch your tanks over for you. Now your second dive is a drop off dive on one of the Cocoview walls and then you swim into cocoview and walk up the shore, so you do not come back to the boat after your drop off dive...so you walk up the beach and to the dive lockers which is a very short walk from the shore.

Then again for your second boat dive...if you leave your "tag" they bring your gear to the boat and set it up...and again switch it up during the surface interval..of course only if you want them to....
You will have a wonderful time there, its the perfect mix of dive resort/comfort/feeling of home...We have been twice and can't wait to go again...

Let me amplify that one comment- if you don't want them to, they won't.

If you set it up once in a certain way and allow them to replicate this- they will do so with great precision.

If you want them to do something, just ask. If you want them to not do something, ditto.

How they remember all of that intricacy- I have no clue.

This is not exclusive to CCV, I have seen it in quite a few better dive ops in every part of the world.

As with all such valet services~ always recheck your own gear. You are responsible. You will probably not notice them checking whether your air is on before you jump in.
