An open letter to liveaboard operators

[diverdoug1]

Well, I just got off the Turks and Caicos Aggressor, and they had indoor charging areas, Yay! Unfortunately, initrox was in the 20's, deck towels handed out randomly ( yuck) instead of by number, and A/C problems. Crew was good as was the food. Good weather and diving.

I wish I had known about the towel issue before last week. :-/

On the Bilikiki we had lots of fresh, warm soft clean towels after each dive

There was only 1 dive where someone must have pee'd in their wet-suit at the end of the dive. I just used used the fresh water hose next to the rinse tank. (it was dumped after we were done). Stinky...and gross.

Your face was very funny when I told you in the airport!

Or not at all.

Note that "warm dry towels" aren't always what they appear to be. More than 1 nice liveaboard I have been on just ran them back through the dryer... and that's it.

Dive dry... and never touch a deck towel!

Wearing a dry suit in warm water and wearing condoms have something in common. They are like eating steak with a balloon over your tounge.........you know you are doing it, YOU JUST CAN'T TASTE IT!

I've been looking at myself in the mirror and trying to recreate that look.

What do you think about Cocos Island? I've been getting discount spam already.

I forgot to tell you that I lost a perfectly good dive knife from my carry-on when coming through US customs. :theyareontome:

And left 2 safety reels and my wife left her wetsuit on the boat.
