Extra...Extra....justleesa saves vacation

[JohnW]

Here is my story in brief:

I was in Honalulu, Hi from Boxing Day to New Years. I was book with a supposedly big dive charter outfit for 10 dives over the week. I also after finding that they did not do night dives, booked 2 with justleesa. The short of it is that this so call big operator (that does not do night dives) told me if I did the night dives with another operator I would not be allowed to do anymore dives with them (he said I was attempting to do an unsafe profile:huh: ). They said they would be refunding my Visa for the remaining dives (I'm still awaiting a refund). I was kinda crushed:disappoin , I vacation to dive. I'm not one to sit on the beach or shop...etc.

Now I phoned Lisa (justleesa). Lisa was able to book me some incredible dives(besides the 2 outstanding night dives). 3 different wreck dives (YO-257, SanPedro & SeaTiger) and some great Reef Dives. The 2 night dives (4 tanks total) were personally guided by Lisa, and were all fantastic dives, Lisa pointed out many critters I had missed and also gave much great History on the Dive Sites. It was also a great pleasure to meet Lisa's Husband Roger (TurtleGuy), who also took me on some superb Dives (My first Wreck Dive)

Hats off to Lisa and Roger, I'll be back in Hawaii soon .

Way to go!! I'm glad Lisa was able to come through for you! I've dived with her a couple of times and I wouldn't think of using anyone else when I visit Oahu.

You can check out her web site at www.oahuscubadivers.com - she also has a great log of the dives she does so you can see what there is to see!

PM Sent.....I'll PM anyone who would like to know. Not that I'm vindictive...I just don't want anyone else's vacation potentialy ruined.

BTW I'll post a little more about the first operator in Whine and Cheese later.

Stories like this is why there is a stack of business cards in our shop, 2500 miles away with Roger and Lisa's name on them.

If your Visa is charged, contact your Visa company and refuse the charges. They will remove the charge from your bill. Keep the records of the cancelled dives for future disputes.
