A check out dive is required before we take you to Gordo Banks. This is not just to check your skills are up to scratch, it is also for the dive center to check your air consumption (to see if we need to add extra guides) and to weight check (even with 500 dives you may never have descended in a 7mm suit in the Sea of Cortez in a current). This is a safety standard. There are some special circumstances where you can omit this step, but it is NOT recommended.  Add your Gordo Banks trip to this order at the same time , this can be refunded later if for some reason you don't feel comfortable after check out.
