To dive or not to dive - that's not even an option.

Good:

1. location
2. sea state
3. vis
4. knowlegeable crew
5. finding the site (the one they intended!)
6. boat space
7. kitting up facilities like seats, benches for twins
8. access/recovery from sea
9. shelter
10. clean toilet

Bad: Opposite to good realy:

1. if the location is poor, no one would visit anyway.
2. if the sea is too rough, you wont even get out.
3. no vis, no point.
4. having no confidence in a crap crew is no fun, probably a danger.
5. can't find the site and dive a 30m sandbank.
6. too cramed, no fun at all, rather pay extra £10 and dive with 10.
7. kitting up is the hardest part of the dive, for me at least.
8. a 5 foot drop is not so bad, but an 8 foot poor recovery ladder is a bind.
9. I know we get wet in the water, but shelter from wind and cold is nice.
10. Should be clean facilities available that work and you can swing a cat in.

Hopefully more on tune?
