Re: first time diver
Culebra, Puerto Rico

We have been diving for over 31 years. I have been on dives in several places where there were "resort course divers" on the dive. One I remember well was on Kauai in 1990. There were 4 of these folks on the dive and the divemaster stayed with them the entire time at around 30 ft. He did take them down to 60 ft to see some sleeping reef sharks. I was appaled at this. You will find that the difference in 15 and 30 feet is very small. It is just a # in your head and can freak you out if you think about it. Relaxing as much as you can and truly enjoying the underworld wonders, is the true beauty of diving. You will see fish. We did see a small shark when we went diving with Tazz on Culebra last month. You should see nothing that frightens you and Walter will be sure and tell you what to expect and is really good about pointing things out to you. We just returned today from the Florida Gulf Coast and even with a pending hurricane out there and visibility of only 20 feet, I still loved the dive. We went to a max of 70 ft due to the problems with visibility. We normally go to about 100 ft when we do a boat dive out of Destin. Good luck.
