    Dive Operators in West Palm Beach, FL

    I was on a charter boat in WPB. Is there a regulation that has Captains and Dive Masters uphold to their customers regarding flirting and coming onto women from the Captain and/or crew.

    No.

    Flirting (and "dating") the female customers (or whatever your flavor) is the only thing that makes DMing in WPB worthwhile.

    It certainly isn't the babysitting and the tips.

    What boat was it?

    Well, if the customer seems to enjoy it, it'll help with tips and overall enjoyment, I'm sure. If the customer was offended, however - the hittee or the hittee's BF/GF, then I guess you could ask them to take care of safety & diving and stop botherng the hittee?

    Please drop by Introductions and introduce yourself, so we can welcome you to SB appropriately.
    You can test the tanks you breathe or - dive on hope.
    Testing is safer...


    Great news for vacation divers who cannot talk themselves into buying a personal CO tank tester!
    >> Rent one for a week or longer here <<
    Now let's see more CO readings in your trip reports, ok...??

    It's only a problem when they are flirting with the same person I'm trying to flirt with.

    ditto, what boat/club was this?

    I, personally think that on charters, it is inapproite for the DMs or captians to be hitting on anyone.

    Agree, now after the trip is over....

    Didnt think there were many WPB ops still running, thought the 'canes messed up their docks? Or do you mean Boynton Beach - was it you Kev????

    Yeah call the international association of underpaid dive boat laborers. Some times I wonder why I even reply.

    I can't wait to get sexually harassed on my next dive trip. Any female DM/Cpt's out there that do this?
