I most certainly did not expect this to be such a popular thread. I think many are in support of ProDive just out of spite.
While I would say that the original spammer, has PM'd me back with apologies and while I do accept the apologies, the email was absolutely spam. They dug deep into the archives of scuba board and sent me a lengthy sales message, completely unsolicited, with nothing other than a sales message. While the board moderator may declare this not spam, it IS spam- by it's definition.
Anyways, there are 2 dive ops in Fort Lauderdale that I dislike greatly- Pro Dive is one of them, multiple times have I been diving off fort lauderdale beach and witnessed a large dive boat cruising on plane, at a decent rate of speed, merely 10 feet off the swim buoys. And right on the side of the boat is "PRO DIVE". I believe they should know better, are endangering divers and swimmers for the sake of show boating off the beach. So when I received an email out of nowhere that I had a PM on scubaboard, spent my time to come here and log in to read it, and find nothing other than a completely unsolicited sales message - I felt compelled to at least make a post about their spamming.
I hope everyone found this thread at least entertaining, and while I'm sure Pro Dive may not be "that" bad of an op, I would sincerely encourage them to abandon their reckless boat operation and spamming.
Have a great weekend and get in the water, it's summer!
