That was what I had purposed earlier against some pretty strong opposition.Would it be possible to have a survey template?
Not really. IIRC, only a couple of you were against the idea and it even looks like DandyDon has changed his tune. It see as if more people are for it than against it now.
Doesn't mean that I think this forum or specifically Cozumel needs it but it would be good for every destination and possibly a new feature of SB. Thought about pitching the idea to Pete.... a feature of the site that would save the reviews/surveys allowing them to be searched every which way and requiring the reviewer to give responses to specific rating criteria. Sure there would still be plenty of cheerleading and personal attacks within each review but as always it's be up to the reader how to interpret the information discarding the the overtly positive and negative like with any trip report. It'd just be concisely organized and easily accessible. Personally, my best friend just moved to Bali and I'm interested in going to see him and doing some diving yet it was very difficult and time consuming sifting through all the reviews, cheerleading and other information trying to find a choice operator for a trip of a lifetime. Fortunately, I don't have that problem in Cozumel or Bonaire but flying 25 hours halfway around the world, I'd want to make sure I had my ducks in a row before arriving. YMMV
