I’ve used RJ in the past but our club had the whole boat and we did the role call, not sure how RJ handles it but someone screwed it up big time twice.


They still didn’t have a clue when they got back to the dock and still had two empty dive bags and two extra tanks!


If remarks attributed to the Captain are true his attitude is scary.

No experience with these folks as a charter - but it reinforces why my buddy and myself stay away from "cattle boat" size operations. The article indicated that there were a total of 30 divers! Any operation that size should be issuing numbered dive tags - which are returned after the diver surfaces.

This is not the first report made on this charter...


I agree head boats should be FORCED to use accountability tags. and have some sort of multiple divemaster system in place for checks and balances....


Hopefully the CG will pull his capts lic as well as the vessels certification...
