Captain Al’s probably is slow to respond because his alter ego is ultracharters.com/. Same boat as Ultra Dive. He’s too busy running fishing charters to mess with divers much.

I liked captainbeardcharters.com/index.shtml. I used his service twice and the dives were fun. He also starts at Freeport, TX. It’s still just a fishing boat. Nothing fancy but it got me there and back. He goes to the same rigs as everyone else. His prices are the lower. $250 for three tanks is a good deal I think. (Sure you can get two tanks for $80 in Mexico but you have to buy a $1,000 plane ticket to get there.) He’s also picky about the weather. He won’t go out in horrible rough weather. (But still check it yourself and only go in calm conditions.) You don’t have to bring a dive buddy with you. There will be others on the boat you can insta-buddy with. You never know how an insta-buddy will turn out but you don’t have a choice if you don’t have a reliable buddy you know that’s willing to go.
