Is Open Water enough?

Yes for most trips in this category. Sites are chosen for recreational limits. If a deeper wall or wreck is on the schedule, the operator will say so up front and may pair you with a guide for that dive.

How many dives do I need logged?

There is rarely a hard number. What operators care about is recency: if it has been more than a year, plan a refresher on the first morning. A pool session at home before you fly is even better.

Will I be diving with the same group all week?

Usually. Most trips keep a boat group together so the guide knows everyone's comfort level and air consumption. That is where the dinner-table friendships come from.
