Jan,
that a kind of wrong,
1.) to dive the pier you need to apply for it, but you DON'T need one of the resorts at all. To dive with a resort was the situation 2 years ago but changed looong time ago. Maybe they don't tell you the truth to keep them atatched to you.
Also the statements of Amontilado - Resort (I read on other boards and websites) that nightdives are only possible with them are just wrong and a bad try to get customers.
2.) The pier will undergo renovation. At present there are about 10 to 15 posts blank (out of some hundred). The company stopped cleaning as whole pillars as hey found out that the damage is only in the lower few meters. They also wait if money is available from organisations like project aware and others.
The small pier is up to now untouched (if you don't count the damage some poor divers do).
Both Piers are still worldclass dives and only the future can tell. There can't be a statement done by now. DUCOMI and diving industry works together to find a solution...
cheers
