Mossman, if you dont like the invasion setup, plans, ect, and can do better and know of better, then feel absolutely free to do just that. And quit your @#$%$& whining. Nobody said you had to be in love with it. You dont like how it is set up, then go somewhere else; just quit trolling this thread.
Well said Gdog.
Needless to say, Mossman you obviously missed the Invasion Cozumel trip this past June. I didn't.
I have dove with Dennis and Roxanne for years and I can tell you that they are both hard core divers. They would both rather be diving than being besieged with questions from 100 different Scubaboarders with issues about their rooms, dive boats and where to get the best Mexican food in Mexico.
They oversaw the negotiations with Bay Adventures, organized the boats, got donations from merchants and took care of countless other details we all took for granted.
If you were to ask anyone that went to the Invade Coz trip, I doubt that any of them would begrudge Dennis and Roxanne getting a "freebie". In fact I think most of us would not have had a problem if Dennis and Roxanne brought aunts and uncles along for free in light of how smoothly everything went.
As to Dive Paradise, they had enough boats to accommodate 100 divers with different skill levels. Their boats were on time, clean and staffed by polite and friendly crews. The dive shop manager called his dive equipment guy in to work on my wife's regulator rright before we went out for a morning dive. All he asked for was that we leave a "little something" for him. What more can you ask for from a dive op.
Let's cut to the chase Mossman, you didn't go on the Invade Cozumel trip last year, you never had any intention of going on the next trip which is probably a good thing. You would have a hard time fitting in with the other 100 of us that are there.
