please check this out under rates.
we did this with caradonna dive travel, with doris at ex 117.

please remember this does not include diving.
there are close to 120 dive ops on the island and you can arrange for any of them to pick you up at the dock.
regards,

Thanks for the info. I'm aware of the diving situation - I've been a few times. I was just trying to compare rates. Always looking for that better deal! Thanks again.

I've been diving w/ Christi's group (bluextsea) and they are very attentive. I'm sure if you emailed Christi and inquired about their boat and captains w/ regard to your wife's needs she would be happy to reply and give you the information you need. I've also been diving (1x) w/ Sand Dollar (cruise ship excursion) and they too were very attentive and helpful -- however, they curry a much larger crowd and it takes longer to dive w/ a group where so many have to get in and out of the water. Christi's set up is really great. Small groups, personal service, and the most bottom time -- never felt hurried w/ her group. Her boats are small and getting in only takes a couple of steps on the ladder and you are in. I'm not the most "graceful" climber either but manage her boats quite well. Our boat captain was Mago and he was very helpful to his guests.

soso,
welcome to this board.
capt. hector one day wore a op staff shirt that had the name mago on it.
when i asked him if he had 2 names dm pedro commented that mago was his nick name because he can do so many amazing magic coin tricks while on the si.
they might have been pulling my leg though.
regards,
