The dive guides are all marine biology students, but that doesn’t automatically make them all good guides (they’re young and not all equally responsible). I think you could get more out of their expertise by having them give better, more in-depth briefings. They were all very nice, though.
Things work differently at Santa Maria than at other dive sites (e.g., in Asia or Egypt) because you have to schedule your dive days in advance, and it’s not always easy to book extra dives (luckily, we were able to do an extra Ambrosio dive). It’s helpful to know this in advance so you can adjust your travel plans accordingly.
