Two of the dives I had this week had 20 people on them. A number of the regularly scheduled dives were canceled and charters for the cruise passengers were run in place of those dives.

We went in two groups of ten with a contingent from Mexico comprising one group and everyone else in the other. Everything went smoothly for us. I was the only one booked on the two tank south coast dive on Friday so it was combined with the Renaissance airplane dive. The dive master and I went to the harbor reef then we picked up everyone else behind the row of little shops downtown for the dive on the airplanes.
