- Meeting point: The meeting point is Piet's Pier between the Barcelo and Hyatt on Palm Beach.
- Morning arrival: Come at 8:30 a.m. for the Two Tank departure at 9 a.m.
- Afternoon arrival: Arrive at 2 p.m. for the One Tank departure at 2:30 p.m. On Sunday, come at 12:30 p.m. for the departure at 1 p.m.

From the desk
- At the desk the question was which dive a certified child could join. I'd put a junior aged 10 or 11 on the afternoon single dive, with your own ride to Palm Beach.
