Sorry, what did I say that was wrong????
"Many boats pick people up beginning at 8:30?" or "BS boats typically leave
at 8:45?"
I was merely trying to point out to unsuspecting readers that they should
not expect to see a Black Shark boat at 8am, the time that you stopped
looking, and started whining about them (again).

<SNIP/SNIP/SNIP>

I'm not going to get into paragraph by paragraph rebuttal/argument/flame
war with you. I stand by my comments, they were valid.

Thank you. I check my information as thoroughly as *I* feel is warranted.
Anything I wrote was an honest attempt to set the record straight.
For the record, my *opinion*, based on FACTS is that Black Shark Dive Shop
receives an inordinate amount of undeserved criticism from you. Period.
