@chillyinCanada - I am not sure how the fact that someone who has never posted before on the board validates or invalidates their experience, posting or opinion? Which is what you seem to be implying. Everybody has to start someday and make their first post. My guess is that something causes or stimulates most of us to make that initial post. You have clearly had a different experience with Amigos del Mar and were correct to post about your own longstanding experience with them in order to bring another perspective to the OP or future prospective readers of this post. However, implying that the credibility of another person might want to be called into question due to their activity or lack thereof on this forum is probably not a good practice. I wouldn't have even noticed or taken the time to respond, except for the fact that I am going to Belize in a couple months and have been monitoring this post for any relevant info and then happened to notice the post from @GStew today and recognized her as someone that I have become acquainted with over the last year and have been on many dives with here in the Channel Islands and consider her to be a credible and safety conscious person. It might help if she were to be more specific about the concerns and experiences that caused her to take the risk of posting here.
All good and understood!
