Fuel prices have skyrocketed for us all plus the Spree includes nitrox and upgraded the boat. They reduced max passengers from 32 to 24 so divers are less crowded.
I agree with the advice to have a fair amount of experience before going out to FG because the dives can be advanced and there are a lot of factors involved. But before I would throw away the money I'd have suggested going anyway even if you don't dive. The food is good, the company is good, and you'd have gotten familiar with the whole setup. And if seas and currents were calm you could have done a few dives. FG diving can be easy or difficult.
