What
to Bring
and
what to consider.
Being prepared for boat diving and diving gulf are very important. First
is having all provisions for the trip which includes drinking water and
gradoraid, lunch, snacks, camera with film, bathing suit, wet suit to avoid
scraps by barnacles, towel, mask, fins, snorkle (Required on all Dives),
weight belt, weights (are not included), dive knife (Required due to fishing
line on rigs), regulator system, dive computer, dive lights, buoyancy compensater,
goodie bag, spear gun, C-Card, Log Book, medical cards and information,
large freezer bags to bring home fish filets, batteries for dive lights,
spare mouthpiece, lift-bags and cave reels with line if diving the wrecks,
emergency medical kits if you have one, and anything else which might fit
into one medium size mesh bag to carry on the boat.
What to bring but leave in car! Large gear bags, Ice Chest for keeping
the fish chilled for the ride home, change of clothes and large bulky boxes.
Remember there are six divers, plus the dive guide, captain, and deck hand
on board. Storage is limited and is best used in the cabin for sitting,
eating or laying down. The back deck is 12x9 on the Chris Craft and 13x10
on the Bertram. With seven sets of gear on the deck after a dive with two
large Ice Chest which doubles for seating, can get in short supply if you
do not put your gear away after the dive. We do not allow wet wet suits
or swimsuits into the cabins. The Air Conditioning cabins are for after
you dry off or drip dry if you forgot your towel.
What we do not allow: No power heads or weapons of any kind except for
the spear gun unloaded. No Handguns are allowed. Fishing tackle and rods
and reels are on the boat. A small maintenance fee is charged for use of
equipment and for replacement of hooks, line and sinkers. Bait and ice
is furnished on the trips. If you want to bring fishing gear you must notify
us at time of booking to allow for other gear to be removed from the boats
to allow room. |
