I have seen some frequent recommenders at this section frequently recommend MDA, I believe I should tell my controversial experience.
First, I want to strongly and sincerely recommend GTDS (Guam Tropical Diving Station). After you finish reading my story, you will see why I recommend GTDS.
I had worked on Guam from 1997 to 2000.
During those years on Guam, I started scuba diving at my spare time. However, the diving instructor, who was a very close associate with MDAs main contact person, frequently tried to talk me into utilizing the power of my job to crack down on his/their competitors in the diving field. I tried to separate my job from diving leisure and paid for each diving accordingly plus a tip, but he just kept making it a major subject or an influence to my diving events.
I also encountered another person in MDA, who seemed to be very much involved in political opinion about the situation on Guam.
In 2003, I returned to Guam for a personal vacation and contacted my dive instructor/master via email. The first thing that he mentioned was the same subject, so I dropped that friendship and wanted no more. However, when I got to MDA after that, I received unfriendly treatment from his friend who was the main contact person and has big webpage on the internet. At the counter downstairs of that main contact person, I was trying to sign up with MDAs boat diving but was told that everything with future four weeks had been sold out, nothing for me at all. When I was reading their boat diving schedule list that was placed on their counter, it was pulled away from the middle of my reading without any excuse or so.
I will never want to go back to MDA or search any service from them anymore, and I believe divers dont want to spend vacations in MDAs serious and stressful atmosphere.
GTDS opened big arms to me without any prejudice, without pressure me to mix any job and diving pleasure. I still remember its owners name, Wayne, (please correct me if I am wrong), was very nice and professional. My expensive regulator started leaking air, he fixed for me right there with smile, made me feel so relaxed. One of his workers, Chris, said that Wayne stated a rule telling his workers just to provide information and service, but never push any sale or give pressures to customers. Its price is reasonable and schedule is flexible. Its really relaxed. I received privilege and respect from GTDS as an ordinary person. I am truly happy with GTDS and strongly recommend GTDS.
