I am an experienced diver. I've been diving arround the world for more than 20 years. But the attitude towards clients I have received from Academy Bay Diving I've never seen before.
All started yesterday when we arrived at shop to choose the equipment for the diving. You know, in Europe we are used to the attitude that clients are welcomed with smile. Not in this place...The lady in the shop did not even say hello to us.
Next day it appeared that my teenager son who is Junior Advanced Diver with an experience of a lot of technically heavy dives, such as cave, shipwreck, night and river, was not allowed to go to Gordon Rocks. In a very unpolite and rather rude way I was explained a lot of different reasons why he cannot go there...Like not enough experience, not sufficient age etc. At the end it appeared that this company does not want to do anything with children divers (hmmm, 15-years of age I guess is not a child anymore). Anyway, I was wondering, what is this technically superb dive...And guess, what...It was one of the easiest dives I've ever had...
To summarize...I suggest you not to have any business with this company. Especially, if you have teenager divers together with you. This company hates them, because they think they are small children. In addition, I've never seen such old-stylish equipment and an average dive masters. And this, of course, is for enormously high price. As for the owners of the company...I invite you to come to our Northern Europe country and do some river dives. And only afterwards you are going to be able to judge, what actually is technically hard dive. - via
