Lol....I know what you mean!!!

Oh yes, while I think about it...when I've been to the maldives to dive previously they have pretty strict with the max 60 minutes dive time. How are they regarding this on the MST boats? I would hate to miss out on manta action due to the minutes having ticked by when I still have 100 bar left in my tank!!!!

Just looked at my dives and the longest ones were 70 mins including the Manta one, it was 47 mins at 16 metres. So obviously the 1 hour request wasn't too much of an issue. We did travel quite alot between dive sites so if all you dives are going to be 90 mins then they might ask you to shorten them a bit.

I was on Sea Spirit, Jay and Erica were very relaxed about the whole thing.
