Clare Dutton has now been booted out of PADI:

Not before time. As a fellow "ex" PADI Pro (DM) whom she ripped off for £650 in 2017 for a spurious IDC "deal", this arrogant young woman has essays written about her on Trip Adviser. She has racked up quite the body count of disgusted customers.

I’m waiting to see if the next published accounts - due end April 2024 - are going to show the boat. If not I’ll lodge complaint with HMRC, Companies House and the FCA.

Any asset used primarily by a U.K. company must be included on its accounts, this includes hired or leased (borrowed).

It seems Dodgy Dutton and Leanne Clow(n)es have been busy getting negative reviews pulled from Trip Advisor and the like. A thread on a UK diving forum also appears to have been pulled, which makes me wonder if she has complained to the site's admins.

Their latest venture is they have set up a limited company (or at least Leanne has, as Clare is on the brink of being disqualified as a company director) called Hydrofest Ltd. They launched the website last week, and announced it on social media.

They are organising what they call a 'scuba diving and conservation festival' at the Mona Showground in Anglesey. They are trying to get people to pay upwards of £350 +VAT for a stand, and asking for £5,000 for the principle sponsor, two main sponsors at £2,000, and five sub sponsors at £1,000. There are then other opportunities to stump up cash to sponsor an award.

I can guarantee this event will never happen. If it does I'll show my arse in the middle of Lidl. I wonder how many of the sponsors get their money back (if anybody is stupid enough to do so)?
