This makes my heart so happy to see my team back together to carry on the spirit! Congrats on the new boat and the beginning of your operation! And congratulations on hiring a fantastic team! The happiest days of a boat owner/ dive shops owners life are the first day and the day I released...
This takes the cake - I stopped reading at some point - but this thread shows just how much disposable time some of you have and if this is the kind of stuff you worry about then you have a very privileged life.
Actually - the store sets the exchange rate at the registers if you ask them to run the card in dollars - however if running the card in pesos correct, the bank converts the pesos to ISD in your account. You’re always better off the pay on pesos. ATM withdrawals are converted by the bank rate...
Nope not saying ot didn’t happen - im
Saying that the OP used the event to his advantage for self promotion - he provided vague yet accusatory information which was most likely exaggerated, and definitely not fact checked before putting it out here. He’s been on Scubaboard long enough to
Know...
Completely pointless post in a poor attempt to be the hero and self promote. Posting for people to be careful of who they dive with and then provide no real details or information is just a tacky bait and switch maneuver. What’s even worse is that you really didn’t have any details you even...
This just makes me laugh. I'm guessing you haven't been to the island yet? I was not asserting superiority, however, I was replying to a post that did exactly that.
Yes, people have their own opinions, judgments, values, etc. - just as you do, and just as I do. I do speak from 20 years...
It was a starting point - but I never took a divers word for it. Until a diver "proved" themselves in the water, everyone was considered the same level. It pissed a lot of chest thumpers off, but I am going to do my due diligence - "show us, don't tell us." But to Tridacna's point, if we...
OMG - don't overthink it - just write how many dives - and of course it doesn't say anything about PADI because there are other agencies other than PADI - they just want to know your experience level - I can't believe there are 5 pages in response.
When I owned my shop on the island, my form...
All of this squeezing out new fees and nickel and diming everywhere you go for fewer services and worse service is further validation of how happy I am that I sold and left. Someone in the other thread about the pier fees at the Palace mentioned greed and entitlement - I would have to agree...
They have indeed shut the ferries down in severe norte's when docking the boats is problematic an dangerous - there has been some large price tag damage done to the ferries in the past from crashing into the piers. Funny thing though, if wind is coming out of the west, the Playa del Carmen side...
This is not an accurate statement. When the "port" closes, it is virtually synonymous with a small craft advisory. It doesn't automatically shut everything down, there are size restrictions based on the intensity of the wind and waves. It take a lot to shut the ferries down. Going to the...
How do you know what they realize? How presumptuous. If people want to ask their questions, there’s no need to say anything if you think they are “fretting” and just want to shame them. I lived on the island for 20 years and now live in a twin cities suburb where crime has skyrocketed over...
