Scuba Shack's Boat Get Wet Sinks in Key Largo

[ScubaSteve]

The 20th was a Tuesday.

Seeing Monday was the first business day after the weekend, the Credit card "clearing house" could have run the charge on Monday and it was done in batch mode that night and transferred to her credit card company overnight, posting to her account on Tuesday.


Credit Card companies don't do "instant transfers" and show it posted on the account the instant something is charged. most charges go through "middlemen companies" between the merchant and the credit card company.


So the charge hitting her account on the 20th is a very likely scenario.


If I buy gas from a small independent gas station, it usually takes 2-3 days for it to post on my bill. Buying an item from a larger company that might have a more direct relationship with the credit card companies, is MUCH quicker. (Like buying something from Amazon).

A LDS would be similar to any other small merchant that might take longer. This is regardless of the LDS/dive operation in the Keys.


Not trying to defend this shop. Just saying it prob went through as processed and was just the typical delay.

Deaf ears but great post none the less.

This was answered in post #102...

Here is where I am confused/asking for info:

1) Back near the beginning of the thread, I had (privately) found a USCG Documented "Get Wet" and ascertained from the information therein that it was not the "Get Wet" that sunk. I couldn't find the sunken "Get Wet" in the CG Documented vessel records. (Which could simply mean it was an un-documented vessel - this is different from being Inspected for Passengers or un-inspected, as far as I understand.)

2) The thread moved along, and in post #88 Wookie brought up some CG reports showing problems with a Documented "Get Wet."

3) Since to me it looked to me like he might be referring to the USCG Documented "Get Wet," and not the sunken "Get Wet," I questioned it. As a result, in post #96, Wookie confirmed that he had originally been looking at data for the "other" "Get Wet" and so the data he had brought up in post #88 did NOT apply to the sunken "Get Wet." (He then edited post #88 to add the correction.)

4) Also in post #96, Wookie posted a link to some CG contact records for the "correct," sunken "Get Wet."

5) I looked at those and saw data for an incident in August of 2010 "Involved in a Marine Casualty" (but no more detail.)

6) In post #97 mike_posted about a record of a hole in the boat that needed to be patched, but I did not see that on the sunken "Get Wet's" records. I want to know if that was from the "wrong" "Get Wet," or if it's from the sunken one, where was that data found?

7) I don't have post numbers, but I think some other references to CG-identified problems were made later on, and I have never been sure which "Get Wet" they referred to, and if they refer to the sunken one, where did the data originate (because I wanted to look at it).

I'm still not sure.

According to this article the surviving diver is now in stable condition. A few were asking a couple of pages ago.

Glad to hear. Wasn't too optimistic.

So, no one knows anyone who was on this trip who might post here I don't guess...??

Glad to hear. Wasn't too optimistic.

Although I wonder if "stable" could also mean stable but in bad shape vis-a-vis brain function. I hope not, of course.

All vessels over 5 tons may be documented. The NOAA website you use is a little useful, but the uscg psix is good for any vessel in the world that the uscg has ever had contact with, including boardings, marine casualties, inspections, etc. Google "uscg psix" and look up any boat you like.

Let me correct your post a little. It was patched, but not done properly to the USCG's standard for the inspection. (your post isn't really incorrect, but more of "not completely correct". )

The USCG wanted it properly patched before putting the boat back in water.

(I cut and pasted that section of the report from the USCG's vessel database and posted it in the thread a page or two (or three) back. I think I posted a link as a source/reference also

Well, no it's not very informative. Excerpting from Medical state - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia....

A frequently cited condition is "stable". Typically, stable is not a condition on its own; it is usually qualified with a true condition. It is commonly used to denote conditions where a patient has a favorable prognosis or stable vital signs. The American Hospital Association has advised doctors to not use the word "stable" either as a condition or in conjunction with another condition, especially one that is critical, because a critical condition inherently implies unpredictability and the instability of vital signs.^[1] Despite this, "critical but stable" conditions are frequently reported, likely because the word "critical" in mainstream usage is often used to denote a condition that is severe but not necessarily immediately life-threatening (provided that the patient is under professional care).

The use of such conditions in the U.S. media has increased since the passing of the HIPAA in 1996. Patient privacy has become more of a concern to doctors and hospitals, and they are less likely to release specific medical conditions, fearing litigious patients.
