Inadequate briefing and DM not monitoring your air are cardinal sins. You identified all the concerns perfectly. Trust your instincts and good luck finding better charters!
I don’t know this site or operator, but just to set clear up your expectations, this was a botched dive plan . You were dropped in the wrong spot and the DM tried to save it and find the reef. Everyone tries their best, but it happens. Keep diving you should have much better experiences! Thanks for sharing!
@@scottwilder2047that’s rough either way. I feel like you don’t get rid of chop/surge until you’re at least 30ft down. At least snorkeling you don’t have to pay for air and a dive guide, at the expense of getting seasick 😂 Given better ocean conditions and a more competent outfit it seems like a pretty cool and vibrant reef.

Thanks, definitely a learning experience. I could see this dive turning people away if that was their first experience.

This looked like it would've been a lot better snorkel than a dive.
You would think but the waves were like 4ft high and fast intervals
