Both DandyDon and VooDooGasMan are correct.
Most people don't like diving in cold water, but I do, I find the divers that like the cold are different and they are my type of divers! This trip is pure fun and I think the divers that do go will have a great time. In fact this trip has no free spots, and if I make $50 to cover my time setting this up I will be lucky, I will be paying the same for this trip as the other 7 people and would gladly show my receipt to prove it. I do admit that most of our trips do have a free spot. Our shop policy is to give the spot to the Dive Master or Instructor that is leading the trip. We do this as a "thank you" for working for us and also they are expected to be the leader of the trip and it is only fare since we are not paying them for their time while on the trip.
Ken and I have been organizing trips for about 4 years now, we started with a local dive club the opened our shop about a month ago. We have experienced some of the issues you talk about but but they are greatly over shadowed by the Good times.
