Wow so many questions,
I'm sure people will get bent left and right, some will die then they will realize to put it shallower next time. there ar eover 20 of these massive ships slated to become artificial reefs.
TekDiveGirl,
advanced cert and nitrox would be ideal. I'll probably have to go my amount of dives and deepest dive in their log book, but I prefer not to, too easy to gundeck the logs. I am an instructor, so I can take divers down who aren't nitrox certified, might be a good selling point. It only takes me a few hours to nitrox cert a diver. Be almost a waste of money to go out there without mixed gas. But for people who just want to see it once, it's worth it I suppose.
SuPrBuGmAn,
You might know as well as I do that you don't undercut in the charter business, the prices are set by the charter boat mafia, so just "forget-about-it"
Burke1973,
I'd love to do a 3 tank dive, but it's the third tank that people start getting bent on in the dive charter business, especially when they can go deeper than the previous dives.
Now, I was thinking about perhaps hitting a 3rd dive in the shallower area on the way back, but when you do the time calculations, it's pretty damn late and near dark. i want to give people the most dive for their dollar, but the liability increases substantially disproportionate to the dollar.
netmage,
You're absolutely right there with your concern my friend. I do suffer from big boat envy and 4 diver is much better and I might even be able to make slight profit.
I have an option of dive masterign a much larger boat that holds up to 30 divers, very comfortable ride and I would make sure everyone received the same Capt Ron treatment. No mater what your dive needs are I will help you find what you need to have the best dive experience possible. Think of me as the Charter Concierge of diving.
I'm trying to set up some bed and breakfast housing for affordable accomodationas
