We start our week in "The Shore Diving Capital of the World" with a wonderful breakfast. The omelet station is a must! Then finishing up any paperwork with the dive shop and getting your locker key. You will need to do an orientation / weight check dive on the "house reef". That is your opportunity to get your weights dialed in and make sure all your gear is working the way you want it to. This can be done on your own with a buddy or as a group. If you need help let us know. Someone on Smoky Mtn Divers Staff will be there in the morning.
If you have signed up for a boat dive package, it is likely that we will have our first two boat dives right after lunch. That would be a two tank boat ride. After Sunday we usually do a two tank boat dive in the mornings.
If you are shore diving, be sure to catch up with others in the group and make a plan for where to go. The dive shop can have some recommendations for sites. Some sites have easier entries. Some more challenging.
One of the "must see" sites is "The Salt Pier". They do not allow diving if there is a ship loading salt. If there is no ship there you should check it out.
Don't forget that right behind the resort is, the "house reef". The dock right here is where you go to meet the boat for boat dives and there are two stairways off the dock. Very easy entry and exit for the "house reef". You can see all the same animals from around the island right here.
Sometime on Sunday you may want to pick up your vehicle if you haven't yet and make a run to the grocery store.
