Rebreather World - View Single Post - California Boat charters refusing rebreathers divers

The Maui Hawaii boat dives are set up for the tourist crowd largely - I've heard from some operators that they don't like Rebreather on board as their divemasters, capts, and support staff "don't understand them".

Also most boat dives here are a two tank dive - they want the first dive over in about 45 minutes and guess who always wants to be the last guy back on the boat?

I think you are better off finding a bunch of Rebreather guys and just doing your own charters and taking as much time as you like.
