Rudeness at Joe's Quarry by another lds

[drbill]

Gee, I could complain about the way "my" dive park at Casino Point is dirtied up routinely by dive classes, but I don't. It's there for all of us to enjoy, and it is good to see instructors teaching new divers.

If I observe something wrong with the way an instructor or members of their class operate, I try to bring it to their attention by inobtrusively calling them aside to talk. If I make a comment in earshot of others, I try to be as polite as possible... unless the instructor responds rudely (as has been the case on a few occasions, but very few).

There are some instructors that don't deserve to be. Fortunately they are in the minority (at least at most shops). Many are there to share their enjoyment of diving with new divers.

I wonder why this other instructor/owner felt she could use a shelter set up by a competitor, and exclude your LDS' students? Did your LDS set it up for general use or specifically for their classes? We have a similar situation here where dive classes occasionally use drop-down buoys and ropes that were set up for the three shops on Catalina. Generally it isn't a problem unless one of the shops needs to use their own buoy and line. Most instructors bring their own to the Park.

I think there should be some signs at Joe's about etiquette. It can be confusing about which pavillions and docks to use if you are not associated with a club or shop. Especially if there are a few classes in the water.

I might be wrong about this, but I think Joe put in the docks. If so anyone can use them. The pavillions were built by Louisville Dive Center, Ky Diving Hq and New Horizons. Joe put in some of the platforms and I know CincyBengalsFan added on to one of the platforms and put in another seperate platform near the dock that has no pavillion nearby.

With some rudimentary communication between instructors there is ample space for everyone to get in and out of the water and use the platforms. The problems is, we focus too much on the agency based and the shop based rivalry to effect the simplest of communications to resolve a very simple matter.

The guys at the shop built the hut in the concept of sharing yet they had no idea anyone would act like this woman.

Odd.

I stand behind my brother icyman and every other member of our United States military. I am a man of honor, dignity and PROFESSIONALISM along with every other member of the service. The instructor that was berated does happen to be my Father. And when I fount out about this incident I could not believe someone could be so rude to do this. This instructor has no manners , guess her parents did not teach her that when she was growing up. Also it is not just this instructor but her husband also. I got two words for him, "If you could not control her ever since you been married, you should have probably have never married her". I really hate people that are rude like this and need to be kicked out of MY UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. And I say mine becuase I defend this country, so people can be rude, and dont want people like this RUDE instructor here. Mexico needs scuba instructors there maybe you could go there and leave the Kentuckiana area. All I got to say is I am very proud of my Father for being a man of PROFESSIONALISM and having politeness to not get hot headed, like us Irish like to do sometimes, and return fire back at the instructor but to keep his cool and go about his business. Well everyone have a great day.

In other news, Joe is moving the tubes soon (maybe tommorow).

Might be a good opprotunity for a class on using lift bags
