QUOTE: Just to clear up some of the rumours regarding BICD. It is true that 2 Instructors were "let go" duting the recent shake-up.
There has been a change in management and also some new hirings of experienced instructors. BICD currently has 11 Instructors on staff. To suggest that the entire staff have been sacked is simply not true.
Help!
Next week my husband and I are diving in the Bay Islands April 2 - 7 and are trying to make our final decision. I had just about decided on BICD, when I read the above, posted in July of '04. Can anyone comment on the state of BICD now? They certainly have a good-looking website. We are relative newbies (20 or so dives), and want to dive as well as take the Advanced Course.
I'm trying to decide between BICD (staying at some hotel next to Utila Lodge. Utila Lodge is booked). OR Captain Morgans on Jewel Cay OR Utila Watersports (staying at Laguna Beach Resort).
I have been reading posts for days, and narrowed it down to these three. What do you think?
Important to us is: 1. Dive Instuctors/Masters - good helpful people. 2. Take care of us a little, since I'm still a nervous diver. 3. See a Whale Shark!
I had hoped for an AI, since meals would be so much easier, but Utila Lodge was my favorite and its full.
I'd appreciate any help!
And - I promise I will post a trip report afterwards!!!
