It’s unfortunate because the week before at a different island I had to sit out dive two and the dive master and I chatted with him and he was kind and respectful and not once did he make me uncomfortable. It sucks I had this bad experience because now if I ever have to sit out again the thought...
I have all my stuff colour coordinated and he kept making fun of it and calling it stupid and silly and when I got all suited up he continued to make fun of it because it was pink and he clearly thought it was so silly I had pink gear, which isn’t a big deal and I didn’t care after 2 minutes but...
Just wondering why on earth you’d think I’d be lying, how would that benefit me?? Really sad that every time someone speaks out about sexual harassmen/assault someone has to jump in and say hm maybe they’re lying! I’m being anonymous, there’s no benefit for me at all. I wasn’t aware of this...

Just giving a warning out to everyone that Jolly Dive in Antigua employs a dive master/boat captain who sexually harassed me for about 45 minutes. I have already posted my story on reddit and I was urged to spread it around to other forums, I’ll link my original post here but I will also copy...
