I have it on good authority that Don Foster's has ended its cruise ship contract and is now competing for stay-over clients like the other dive ops. If you are interested in diving the West or South sides in the next few months, this could be good news. Spots on DF's boats are likely to be available on short notice and you need not worry about the dreaded 'cattle boat syndrome'. DF is also one of the few dive ops with a boat going out each afternoon at 2 PM. This afternoon, there were just 5 of us on board.
