Hello fellow divers
I would like to sincerely apologize for my dishonesty. Yes I am directly affiliated with Hawes lights. I was caught up with the enthusiasm of the Scuba board members sharing their
experience of buying a new light. All I was looking to do was show an alternative light. But after adding deception to my thread I changed if from being informational to misleading. I didn't think that this was a big deal, but now I see that it was unfair and put a black cloud over the real people that had posted positive comments and was trying to do a good thing for other divers by sharing their experience. By doing what I did it lowered the trust level for every one on this board. I hope that the act of one stupid person like my self has not persuaded any one to stop using the scuba board do to mistrust. People come to this forum to share and educate each other on a sport that I think we all love. It only takes a small handful of people to screw up a good thing like this forum of free sharing and I do not want to be one of them. I don't expect any one to believe me now, but I do hold up honesty, Hard work, and moral values as traits that should be treasured. I know that trust is earned and can easily be taken away. So by what I did I have tainted the good name of other people and businesses. The blame and mistrust should be put directly on my shoulders and not those of any one else that was apart of this thread. I know that at Hawes lights, customer service and trust is a big part of there business and I apologize to them also. Again I would like to say I'm sorry and I apologize to all the readers of Scuba board. I feel that all divers are my brothers and sisters and my deception was no way to treat you all.
