First I start with Google. Once I have an idea about the operations running in the area I’m looking at, I hit the phone and start asking questions.
Here’s my standard list of questions
- Do you dive nitrox?
- Can we dive on our own without a DM? (only allowed in some areas)
- How many divers per DM and per boat?
- What are your advanced dives, wreck dives, night dives and the requirements to participate?
- Then i ask about pricing, package deals, and flexibility if we need to make a change.
After answering a few basic questions I quickly get a feel for how professional an operation I’m dealing with. If they don’t cater to advanced divers, or allow inexperienced divers to participate beyond their certification level, it’s a deal breaker.
