Is it open to People to just hang out like it used to be? Or is it just for limited access by certain people. Like say for instance can I take the wife and family there to just hang out on the week no diving?

Interesting!
It almost sounds like you could do Confined Water training there as well. Does it conform to PADI CF standards?

They just allow schools to run field trips during the school year and diving with me. As of now you can't just hang out. Would be nice if they would open it up that way though...
You could do confined water training there, but there isn't anywhere to do the "Deep water entry skill unless you used their rowboat. The other issue I found is that where it is deep enough to do the confined water training, the bottom is easily stirred up and when you put 3 to 5 students on that bottom the vis goes to crap fast. I even contacted PADI about using it for some specialties like navigation where depth really isn't an issue, or DPV diver where shallow would probably be better, but alas, PADI denied my requests.

Ok ya that is the way it was when I was there a couple years ago. I was able to find out that they did things with schools and other organizations but not "general public" they made a killing there back in the day. But between the liability and people not respecting nature I guess they decided it was to much of a hasle
