Oh and I like your snipe. I agree, tis fair game.Hmm, a lots of problems with he Tbbataha boats, just want to remind hat we are also going to the Tubbataha with the Karen Joy, a really luxurious boat. Just check out our Tubbataha Schedule, our boat at Tubbataha Diving. Hope this post is ok, just reminded because, the other company was allowed to remind also.

Thanks
Think that those reading this thread can easily see the issues and what the real problems were.
Regarding PCSSD, no point as 1 commissioner there from Expedition Fleet.
We have now had 2 terrible experiences with their Boat Managers (first one cost me $3000USD to learn this).
Hope they employ better staff in the future.

Honnestly, No I can't!
Both sides of the story were told here and both have valid gripes/ issues... And most importantly I wasn't there and can't tell what the real deal is. I honnestly don't have the slightest clue towards what happened, other that you both agree that there was one hell of a storm and that it's a good thing everybody made it out alive!
Honnestly, this post deviated on settling scores rather quickly, which is counter productive towards credibility. I understand why though since both parties have bad feelings about the other and about what went down. But the truth is I have no reason to trust one testimony rather than the other here and I remain without a final oppinion on the subject. Which in the end, doesn't change much for me since I'll probably never make it to Tubbataha....
Now that is something to cry about...Guys, I don't think you'll get anything productive about posting more here about this event. It's a he says/she says scenario and you best leave it at that (in my oppinion:cool2
. Any further action, if truly warranted, would be best done through other channels such as complaints to officials or the company. Or you could take it to the Dr. Phil show and see if he can help resolve it!
Just my 0.02$
FYI the incident was reported to the PCSSD-Usec Cynthia Carrion heads this which is why she was able to call me and yell in my ear. I already told you what I did in return.
Someone also reported it to the Tubbataha Management Board and I told them the same thing.
In their letter to the TMO they pointed out that the manager was crying -yes folks, they badgered her to that point. So you can excuse me if I am incensed-still, at their attitudes.
Because as was pointed out, the garbage had to be dumped tor drain the water from the boat and that they after all, had eaten. They just didn't like the fact they had ham and eggs....

@ bttmdwllr
In our opinion (and without prejudice) you have the worst Boat Managers in the World from our 'limited' 13 year, 2000 dive, 20 liveaboards experience.
Others can decide for themselves after making a few basic searches on the internet.
