OP, just go for it-----that's from our(myself, wife & 14 YO daughter) experiences in Dec of '85....We were only 4 months certified, headed to Belize for some blue water clear diving, the 3 of us & a 21 YO DM/boat captain(he was a jack of all trades & a master of none--he just secured the boat anchor VERY WELL in the reef after we followed the anchor line down)--ie 4 people on a 22' boat in 6+ seas, 2 US cold fronts had just come thru back to back...The boat had twin 55 hp tiller outboats---that one konked out on us while heading thru the reef on a dive--& our daughter got seasick as can be & 4 people in the water---ie no one left on top to watch the boat & conditions.....
It was 'hairy' experiences but ones we all have NEVER forgotten--& made better divers out of us in the long run...(hopefully you can get the picture I'm painting)..Your 'crew' will do just fine I bet----be sure & tell us how it goes.....good Luck & enjoy your trip....
