Good thing the court of public opinion doesn't much care what the source is as long as it has some modicum of verifiability and reliability if someone were to choose to make the necessary phone calls.MeiLing:Entirely inadmissable in a court of law as well.
Not employed there, what a surprise.KrisB:I'm not employed there, Al.
What you can expect when you go there is top-quality instruction from instructors that follow standards and accompany you on every dive you've signed up for... something definitely worth asking about when you're trying to book training with anyone else...
Furthermore, I think I've avoided any character commentary here -- as you'll note any comment I've made has been directly attributed to verifiable facts. Some of my sources may be one step removed from the root of it, but they're trustworthy. Interesting how y'all have decided to slam this on me for airing some of YOUR friend's dirty laundry.
Actually, Al, it isn't. I haven't sought employment there, nor will I unless I am able to make a "I'm planning on being here forever" sort of statement. The strange thing is -- I've met you, and you seem like a completely different person in reality than you come across here. And I suspect you've felt the same, because you certainly did not act the same way to my face as you do here.Al Mialkovsky:Not employed there, what a surprise.
OH by the way, they don't offer any training I haven't already qualified to teach myself but thanks.
Verifiable facts? You totally got caught in a lie when you said they left divers on the dock. Blesi nailed you and their boat wasn't planned to dive. You'd better start verifying yourself for real or else continue to look like chicken little around here.
Not working for Maui Dreams??? After all you've done for them, amazing, lol.
Stay with the smaller owner/operators and you'll probably have the best time.
