According to my notes, Quiescience doesn't do doubles on wrecks and charges extra for tanks and weights. FWIW

I'm thinking "we" is you and your daddy in a rowboat.

I wouldn't dispute a charge with one of your competitors had I reason to dive in that area. Unlike you with your "always full boat", contradicted by having almost no social media following and a dead website, as per the link I posted to their website and policies, they're quite fair.

No it won't. Those dive operators will continue to do the same thing, the same way. But it will most definitely cost them more than they saved by refusing to refund. Especially when divers like me and @CathyE will dispute the credit card charges in between leaving negative reviews. And we will...

I wonder how many customers Greg has lost to his competitors for unreasonable policies that he considers to be fair because it's "sharing the risk". Not surprisingly, there are no listed cancelation policies on his commercial website which hasn't been updated since 2024. It says nothing about...

I get that but as I stated, they made the call on the reduced number of dives prior to even leaving the dock. And the crew seemed to have no idea of the number of dives that were advertised/expected. It's not like they even made an effort to explain the disparity.

I had that issue with MY Discovery out of Hurghada. During the initial briefing when they went over the itinerary the number of planned dives was -3 from what I was expecting based on the website description. The answer I got was somewhat vague "we don't know, you have to ask the main office"...

Clever. Just to add: You almost never want to use auto-white balance whether it's when shooting scuba diving videos or aerial shots with a drone. The finished product will show a lot of lighting changes and won't make for a good viewing experience. At the very least, lock in whatever white...

Me? I'm good. I show up, I do the dives I paid for, I don't ruin anyone's day. The divers that mess up and get hurt or worse, THEY shouldn't have been diving. Those who think it's ok to pocket the funds of their fellow divers and not provide the services they paid for shouldn't be running a...

I would request a refund even if someone died.

Since you're chartering the entire boat maybe the dog can come along. The worst they can say is no.

Policy defines the company and to a large extent, pre-selects their customers. Some may be perfectly fine with overly restrictive policies, others will give their cash to the nearest competitor who won't charge for a canceled dive that is not the fault of the diver. Dive ops who are the only...

Terrible analogy. That's like saying a diver would not expect to pay if they were dropped on the Spiegel Grove but only dived the superstructure and didn't drop to the bottom to check out the landing bay. Then again it's in line with other statements by this member including (paraphrasing here)...

Seems to happen rather frequently on here. Drift dives are suggested for someone who states they're a new diver, and/or they're diving with a bunch of newly minted divers and they're looking for easy, shallow dives. This particular Op clearly stated "no currents" and that's good reasoning...

I didn't tell them not to bring the boat back to the dock or what emergency procedures to follow. I stayed out of everyone's way, and patiently waited for the ambulance to leave at which point I collected my gear, and politely reminded them of the dive that was paid for and not received. They...

That's fine cus I only go on boats with real captain's

If you had an issue on your boat and were an **** and didn't refund me I'd dispute the charge AND I'd ban your boat for the rest of my life. Let's look at it this way. I paid you to take me diving. You didn't deliver. Or partially delivered. Services not provided are not paid for. That's a...

I don't recall having to end any dives early due to RR's policies regarding bottom time.

Rainbow Reef isn't always a cattleboat experience. I've been on their boats when it's only a handful of divers. Sure they move a lot of divers but they do it with about a half dozen boats. That much said, if I had enough divers I'd charter a private boat if the costs were similar. Mainly...
