Plan the Dive Trip, Not Just the Dives
Small-group diving can mean fewer divers on a boat, more personalized attention and groups matched by experience—but every operator structures trips differently.
Ask for the actual maximum divers per boat or guide, typical dive duration, tank options, departure point, surface interval style and whether groups are matched by experience. Compare the answers rather than relying on labels such as “VIP” or “boutique.”
Todd & Cheryl's Tip
When you contact a dive operator, tell them where you're staying and ask about the exact boarding point. A convenient pier pickup can make a multi-day dive trip noticeably easier.
