I think the captain will let you drive the boat while he enjoys the treats. {bring enough to share with everyone!}....... pecan pies and chicken fried steaks....how would those rate?
And even better when he makes the stuff!!!@Johnoly knows of which he speaks. He is the master of food bribes!
That's why it's good to have spearo's on the dive boat. They usually will share if nice. PV will allow you to hunt Lionfish (only) on the boat and you don't need a fishing license. It's better than red snapper on the grill, IMO.red snapper to put on the grill. Holy smokes, I couldn't believe the price .
Betweeen WPB & Jupiter, there are about 18 different dive boats. Each of them does different types of dives and they each cater to different levels of experience. There are WPB/JUP boats that won't let you dive with an aluminum 80 tank for example and others that unless you have an AOW + EAN card, you won't get manifested. That doesn't mean a boat is worse or better, it's just a different type of diving. IMHO,, the key's will get you exactly the same experience you just had,, except it will cost you 50% more....On about every other trip divers were having issues with their regulators, not the rental ones.
