OK, here's a question:
How do you run a safe dive trip (to the Caribbean)? How do you make sure that everyone has fun but no-one gets hurt? I am particularly interested in knowing how you deal with issues such as drinking, smoking and staying out late partying.
I would suggest that a couple of drinks is not a problem so long as you don't get dehydrated and a late night is OK so long as you are not falling asleep while diving.
So lets say I own a store and run a trip. I enjoy being with my customers because by the nature of the business, many of them are my friends but that does not protect me from law suits if one of them gets hurt. So if I go out with them, have a few drinks, a few cigarettes and a late night, how do I make sure that the couple of customers who I don't know so well don't end up getting drunk and bent the next diving day. Do I have to not drink at all, not smoke at all and be in bed by 10pm to be a good role model or is there some way to find a happy medium where I can still do what I enjoy when I am on vacation without worrying about my customers suing me because "I just copied what the store owner did, so it must be his fault that I'm bent".
Thanks for your thoughts...
