Thanks to the crew from Stuart Cove for making it all possible.&nbsp; I have to admit I was a little leery at first when I saw the amount of divers on the dive boat the Black Coral.<br \/>\nThey say a picture is worth a thousand words&nbsp; &#8230;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3025\" src=\"https:\/\/242dive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/IMG_7139-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/242dive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/IMG_7139-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/242dive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/IMG_7139-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/242dive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/IMG_7139-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/242dive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/IMG_7139-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/242dive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/IMG_7139-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>It was really cramped and with no side rails.&nbsp; Add about 18 divers and I was wondering if it would not have been better to go with the DSD boat.&nbsp; How wrong I was!&nbsp; This is a fantastic little dive platform.&nbsp; Yes, it was a little snug in the tank area, but if you set your gear up and then move to the front there is ample room.&nbsp; Also you just gear up and step off &#8211; it&#8217;s that quick to get in the water.&nbsp; I really enjoyed diving from her.&nbsp; Capt. Gabby was her usual amazing self and that helped!&nbsp; She had everyones gear spaced perfectly.&nbsp;&nbsp;The two dives were led by Robin.&nbsp; What can I say, we divers were in good hands. Steel Forest is a good start for a Sunday morning.&nbsp; Hope you like the pics!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overview Operator STUART COVES Dive Type WALL\/WRECK Conditions SURFACE CALM &#8211; MILD CURRENT Diver\/s Dive Lead: Robin<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3024,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3019","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dives"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/242dive.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3019","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/242dive.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/242dive.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/242dive.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/242dive.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3019"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/242dive.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3019\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3033,"href":"https:\/\/242dive.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3019\/revisions\/3033"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/242dive.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/3024"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/242dive.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3019"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/242dive.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3019"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/242dive.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3019"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
