We booked this trip with the affiliated Sousa Party Boat. They said it was a package deal and that a dive guide would bring the equipment on the boat. When we got there, they separated us from our group to go on a smaller boat and said they would take us directly to the larger boat after the dive.
The water was very choppy and not very safe to dive. The divemaster did not go over the operation of the equipment with us and put us in the water quickly with no snorkels to help us breathe in the large swells. After the lackluster dive the “captain” refused to take us to the larger party boat with our friends because they said we needed to pay back at the shop. All of our belongings and any money was on the larger party boat where they promised to take us. Long story short, we were held hostage until the operator of the larger boat said they would cover the cost until we could settle the bill. A total sh*tshow that ruined our trip. I would tell anyone and everyone to avoid this company.
