Is anyone else curious why a self-professed "Advanced Diver" needs a "Boat Diving" specialty certification?
It sounds like you were hoping they would staff the boat with a captain who was also an instructor so you wouldn't have to pay the course fee, no?
In any case, Brian and the team at OEW are fantastic folks to deal with. I'd love to hear from them directly on this one, my guess is it would be an enlightening story (also, providing the text of the actual emails vs. the arbitrary unformatted quoting might help as well). We'll be making yet another trip to visit them in just a couple of weeks.
