Don't know Mike, the owner of Gilboa, I assume however he was the person yelling at a diver who fit the description of one whom carved into his airplane, I also heard him yelling at someone who was "speeding", I heard him yell and complain at a group that had accidently set up camp in the wrong place because they didn't pay for electric. He got Pi$$y with our group when we complained about the cascade machine when it went down and I had to complete my AOW class with 1500 psi....I think the exact comment was "you buy a quarry and run it the way you want" with all of that said he appeared to be 1.) a person who caters to his regulars...of which I am not 2.) a little overstressed and over the top, which brings me to my 2002-2003 conclusion......I've never been back since
Gilboa is quite deep, and cold
Are you asking a question or making a statement? I agree on both accounts, especially regarding the deep side and road leading to it just past the tubes.

Eric,
You are 100% correct. He only caters to his regulars. The only reason he has anyone going to his place is that it has good visibility, deep, and has cool things to see. I got 12 scuba divers this weekend to go to White Star this weekend because he wants $15.00 to dive (thats ok) but than wants another $4.00 per head to drive back to park your car near the dive site. So if you have 3 people in your can it is another $12.00 or you can park in the lot and hump your gear 300 yards. Oh yea don't forget to get to pay for an air fill when you check in, because if you decide later to do another dive and want him to fill your tank it costs more after check in as opposed to buying the air fill at check in....don't get that at all. I also can't understand why people get hurt at Gilboa...after all he approves dive plans???

lost, even with a compass
I guess two months late is better than never?
Attention to all of you arm chair quarterbackers, if you are unhappy, your free to dive elsewhere, remember, your not in charge, and control is an illusion and I'm sitting here wasting my time
