Hi
Thanks for the great feedback !
Diving seems to be a constant learning journey, thank goodness for good divers and forums like Divebuddy to keep the education going... The dive shop and dive masters were so much worse than I could have ever imagined. We researched the dive shop (obviously not well enough) talked to the manager, they talked a great story. Good lesson and we will be much more discriminating next time.
Thanks again for your feedback!
As per the many requests it was ScubaLibre located at the Grand Paradise Samana Dominican Republic.
