One very sad problem is that the Treasure Hunt made over 125 Divers angry. For $35.00 Rick charged us we hoped to have a fair chance at all the prizes. You do the dive, find one golf ball, turn it in to registration and we were told that at 15:30 they were to announce winners. We beleive that everyone of 150 divers had the same chance but we found this is not true. This contest was rigged.
After many delays finally at 17:10 Rick announce all winners. He made a list of all names and sorted it by first name from A-Z. When he started to read the winners we could see that he was reading in order of first names from A-Z. It was easy to see all big prizes were given early to first names that start with A, B, then C, then D,...etc. When Rick got to first name starting with letter K EVERYONE threw to first name at Z got a cheap Taiwan snorkel. Only A-J first names get the big prizes. You can see because he reads them in order A-Z
I know many vendors gave generous gifts and paid much money for these gifts but this was not fair if your name was last as ALL big gifts were given to first names low in the alphabet order. Then Rick said if you did not pick the gift up by 18:00 then they close the doors. We stood in line to get gifts and MANY people were so mad.
Vendors like to be associated with the nice guys and make a big public splash of generosity but this looked very bad when Rick made 125 very angry. It looks very bad at the vendors but they are not the bad guy.
So many people saw this and were angry in line, talking about this big rip off.
I wish he was more fair than to just give the gifts base on the letter of your first name.
