I'm reading reviews on TripAdvisor for some of the Grand Cayman operations (mostly the negative reviews because they're more entertaining).
I read a few where people complained that their gear wasn't carried to and from the boat.
It looks like a lot of the operations typically take your gear, load it on the boat, set it up for each dive as well as rinsing everything between dives.
I imagine part of this is great customer service for people on vacation looking to be pampered and part of it is (and I'm guessing) a liability thing. if their DMs do everything for you and you have a failure, they can say they did everything right and it up to the point of failure. Is that an accurate assumption?
Either way... I'm kind of weird about people doing anything for me in general, and definitely thrown by someone setting up my gear. I'm pretty methodical and would almost definitely miss a step or forget something if someone else did it for me.
Would it be rude to say "It's cool, I got this"? or would they welcome not having to hump one more person's kit up and down the dock?
