I am very emotionally today--
On Monday (Oct 18th) I got text from my favorite Divemaster/Divebuddy said "Your tanks is here, pro dive is closed." I said yeh I'm planning on diving this weekend. He said "no pro dive is closed." I was like "As of out of biz" He said "Yep want me to get your tanks" I actually broke down in some way. I told him yes... but I went to Pro Dive Shop the next morning and there was no body there, I see all stuff inside the store was on floor getting ready to packed... I was so angry for some reason not toward the staffs but the owner. I mean the staffs had put a lot of effort and showed their passionate with scuba world. Now they are without job. One staff was in Orlando that day and got a call said he doesn't have job anymore.
I am still angry because I've lost my 2nd home which was Pro Dive. I felt so comfortable with the crews.... now I have to start all over making new friends on different company... It wasn't that easy for me since I am deaf and many had NO idea how to communicate with me. Most of staffs on Pro Dive knew how to communicate with me and made me feel like I'm more than welcome.
I never thought I would be this hurt.. I feel so bad for the crews who lost their job I will miss them so much and I hope that I'll keep in touch with most of them.
The owner of Pro Dive had betrayed their staffs but not just that... betrayed us the customers....
PS. They didn't EVEN offer one last day for all crews and the customers to dive together such as farewell dive. I must say **** you to pro dive owner for making this huge mistake.
I will be diving with Sea Experience but I don't know when I'll be diving... not this weekend thats for sure.
