"Good Morning Doug,
Right now we have about 20 set of Rental Equipment (BC's & Regs).

We can take 40 divers out right now with the numbers increasing in the near
future.

That number seems kinda low. I'm sure they had more capacity than
that. In fact, a quick look at their website shows 5 boats.

Manta - capacity not specified.
Sea Ray - 17 divers
Leapord Ray and Eagle Ray - 20 divers each
Sting Ray - 12 divers.

That makes 69 plus whatever the Manta can carry. Having been on that
boat, I'll guess 14,

So I guess they can't service 100 divers at once. I'm not counting
shore divers by the way.

Good Morning Doug,
Right now we have about 20 set of Rental Equipment (BC's & Regs).

We can take 40 divers out right now with the numbers increasing in the near
future.

Dee, I need to know how many divers you can handle on a daily basis, 30,
50, 100?

In other words, how many divers can you provide boats, gear and tanks for
in a single day?

And how many sets of rental dive gear do you have?

Complete sets?

Thank you.

Doug Frederick

Good Morning,
The numbers on our boats depends on the number of Hotel guests we have.
Most boats hold up to 20 divers.

Can you please tell me how many divers you can accommodate on a daily
basis, and how many sets of rental gear you have?

Thank you.

They are still currently recovering from the hurricane and are in limited
operation:

I am going to GC on 4/20 and staying and diving with Ocean Frontiers, but I
contacted Sunset for a day and night of shore diving, since I had stayed
there several times in the past. They replied that it is possible, but the
support services (like lockers, Nitrox and stuff) are haphazard.
