I am confused, I don't think I flamed anybody. to WillDiveForBeer, how do you know, with 18 dives under your belt, who is a good operator, and who is not? I said I have no problem with Pro-tech, any problem I did have I expressed to them. There are alot of ops out there all over the world, each do it a little differently, somethings I like, some I don't. Somethings are expected in some area of the world, while others are not. trying diving in offshore in NC, the only thing you get is a ride, no water, no cookies, no towels, here we are, jump off and go. And oh yeah don't mess up, it's 4 hours back, and the Coast Guard used up there trip here last week.
I said before I think Pete stood up. One of the problems is we work on 830 pick up means 825, 830 I am nervous, 835 I'm in a panick, 840 I am going nuts. Island time 830 is 840 or maybe 845 no worries, so we have a hard time adjusting to this attitude. That said, missing a pick up is bad.
did you ever think that the reason Pro-tech told you not to go to the Blue Hole, is because they would have had to referred you out, and you might have discovered an other operator you like better? Maybe, I don't know, but makes sense to me.
