Yvonne at Scuba fun was lovely to deal with, we checked in a few days prior to our excursion and mentioned my wife struggled with sea sickness. Yvonne researched local weather and called us to reschedule our trip for a day later when the waves were lighter. Very thoughtful!!
We didn’t realize that Scuba Fun did not have there own boats but rather got customers geared up then found space on other local dive companies boats. Not a big issue but was confused about that. Scuba fun is an outfitter who gets you a boarding pass on other companies vessels.
Zack was our guide from scuba fun who met us for a pre dive at scuba fun and dispensed gear (BCD, wetsuits, mask, fins and snorkel) the bcd was in good shape and the wetsuits did their job. Our regulators seemed pretty weathered, my wife had issues with hers in the water but still managed to dive with it, my regulator mouthpiece was almost chewed all the way through which made retention difficult but possible. Zack was a bit surly but seemed knowledgeable and matter of fact (which I think creates a calmer atmosphere). My wife still got sick and he was quick with a bucket to assist her. We tipped both Zack as well as the operator of the vessel we were assigned for the day separately!
I would absolutely book through scuba fun again, I see the benefit in them being a separate entity from the vessel as they can shop around and be an advocate for the divers individual concerns. I feel like some of the bigger companies would have just put us out despite the conditions.
Only improvement or advice for next time would be to do a thorough inspection of any rental gear during your pre dive. I anticipate this is a risk you assume anywhere!
We dove on Winch reef and Eagle Ray reef, we had 30 feet water clarity, 77 degree water temp, dove to a max depth of 37 feet for two 40 minute dives. We saw lobster, moray eel, sea turtle, barracuda, angel fish, and hundreds of reef fish and colourful coral!
