I avoid people who make snap judgements and assumptions without knowing all of the facts! First, It wasn't storming when we left the dock! Get your facts correct before you start with the negative comments!!! I said right there in my post that it was a Squall. Look it up. It's a sudden storm that blows up from nowhere and lasts an hour or so. High winds, large waves, lots of rain and lightning and then sunshine. Second, even in today's highly advanced stage of weather forecasting, forecasters are unable to predict Squalls. This incident happened in about 1973 or so give or take a couple of years. The forecasters were barely even able to predict sunrise back then!I'd avoid any recreational dive operator who takes his boat out in a storm or doesn't know how to read a weather forecast.
