I went out yesterday, Saturday, June 25, 2016, on the morning Dive Charter. They were on time, courteous, and fun to be around. The boat was excellent and clean. Everything promised was on board and ready. The Captain did a great job explaining the safety procedures. The ride out was good, the Captain paid attention to where he was going. The Dive Master advised of the sites we would be going on, and what to expect. Once he had tied in, he was very clear on where we were tied in, visibility, conditions, currents, what we could expect to see. He was target on.
Now... I was the one that made a mistake, On the second dive, while at 70 feet, I became distorted, I came up, and came up fast. Upon breaching the surface, I came to the back of the boat where the Dive Master was ready as he saw me coming. I advised him that I had come up too fast. No questions asked, he jumped in the water, took my BC off of me, an instructor on board jumped into action as well as the Captain to bring me on board, lay me down, and start oxygen. They took steady notes and took turns being at my side as other divers came up. They did triage that I have never seen in a hospital looking for the first sign of issues. They were so attentive, and even when I said I was fine, and did not need Oxygen, the Captain and Dive Master both explained that I was under their care, and the mask stayed on!
After we arrived at the dock, they asked about EMS and how I was feeling. When I refused any additional assistance they asked me to come to the shop where they could keep a watch on me, which I did... and enjoyed hanging out for a few hours with them.
They additionally called and texted to make sure I was doing well. The next day, today, they checked in on me.
Luckily I was not down long enough when the "event' occurred (9 minutes) and I was on Nitrox, that I had no residual effects.
But here is an example of how a great dive company take care of their customers, even when their customers are boneheads!
