DO NOT misunderstand, this is NO reflection on you. I ENJOYED my dive and trip very much.
I DID NOT enjoy the crew, shop or anyone else associated with Discovery. (THEY COST ME ONE DAY OF DIVING OUT OF THREE) due to gear line issue.
I cannot support anyone who lies to me after I spend MY hard earned money on a trip. There are just too many people out there looking for my business.
The fact that the Jersey divers had to catch three inexperienced divers with such obvious boo boos, tells you something about the crew.
I called OLYMPUS,DIVER DOWN and another I cannot remember. ALL SHOPS were CLOSED TUESDAY BEFORE THE BAD WEATHER. I CALLED as I was looking for another dive shop to go with on Tues.. (Lack of customers I would imagine in height of dive season) That was BEFORE the "am" bad weather on Wed when the Captains Lady went out from Discovery .
Yes,IF they went into the Ocean on WED they were fools, but DISCOVERY DID NOT CANCEL THEM! THEY ONLY cancelled the boats that were not filled.. ( again a testament to their lack of concern for divers and greed). Only a filled boat went out on WED.
I know you have trained Capt Terry to accomodate rebreather divers, so you have your reasons for staying with them. (PS other dive boats are just as trainable.)
PS I HAD A GREAT TIME. JUST NOT WITH THEM. I dont believe in rewarding people for bad behavior. If they could screw the other folks so blatantly and lie to me, BUYER BEWARE.
Our group was fun, I met lovely people, found a GREAT (I Believe) dive operation privately owned and local and NOT A CATTLE BOAT, had great food on Harkers Island, and the Greek place, met a couple with a beautiful home and a cute rental on a horse farm and fishing lake for a fraction of the price as the bates motel (people at Bates were very nice and place clean despite the fact I found the State BIRD on the next bed.) Got a great haircut, Drove a Fiat 500. very cool.
And BESTof all I had a wonderful dive and encounter with all sealife NC had to offer! Thats why I am so upset. I only got in the water for 2dives!! I would have had at least 4 had they not lied to me.
Notice, I never mentioned the name of the BATES MOTEL!.. They met my minimun standards for cleanliness and comfort and besides fact that they never heard of protein for breakfast, the food was well prepared, fresh, simply and cleanly presented. ( I brought my own hard boiled eggs and lentils.)
The Motel scores points with me because they try. The amenities were lacking, but clean and ACCOMMODATING is important.
That hotel is good for guys! (Sorry if that offends).
