Looks like he's gotten scared as well. Just checked and he's pulled the videos. No matter. I'm still filing the report.
This has become a very sad example . . . of a pack mentality-driven witch hunt that has devolved to a personal level!
That "reports" are being filed 100s (1000s?) of miles away without ANY relevant firsthand knowledge of the FACTS involved is ridiculous! As is reports of "he's gotten scared" - what is that all about? :noI think folks should take a deep breath . . . sit down and watch some football . . . and check their own houses for glass before any more stones are cast. If that doesn't work, some time on a therapist's couch may be in order.
If anyone is inclined to play "PADI prosecutor", you might want to start by combing this board and others for trip reports of cattle boats where "DMs" play try-to-keep-up-with-me-while-I-blow-through-this-dive! If you've taken the time to thoroughly investigate PlayaCountryBoy (which it seems like at least one of you has spent the past couple of days doing) you might notice that his operation is one in which he takes no more than 3 divers (that's one, two, three) on a guided dive (that's looking at and after his divers) by a PADI trained Master Scuba Diver Trainer (not just a DM) who has been diving for 26 years (that's 23 more than 3)! That sounds like a pretty good operatioin to me, and it's been confirmed by the many positive reports and recommendations that I've read on this board and elsewhere.
If you would not be comfortable diving with PlayaCountryBoy . . . then don't. It's called personal choice - perhaps a novel concept?
I, for one, have two trips booked with PlayaCountryBoy - one in January and another in March - and I'm sticking with him. There was no doubt in my mind that I made the right choice after corresponding with several operators . . . and I am even more confident that I'll be getting the best and safest service now.
I'll be sure to post my dive reports!!
