First Dives - Cozumel & Grand Cayman - Expectations?

[jasondbaker]

Ah, those first virgin dives off a Caribbean dive boat. You are so lucky.

Here are my general tips:

-- Show up early to the dive boat. It will give you some time to settle down and get familiar with the vessel and crew.

-- Tell the boat captain and divemaster that you are newbies. They will plan the dives accordingly. The dive shop may put you on a boat with other newbies.

-- You will either be overweighted or underweighted for your first dive. Overweighted is probably better. Adjust your weight for the second dive.

-- Dont forget to look, breathe, and have a great time!
