This review details my dangerous experience as a formally loyal customer and current DMT, to warn clients of the fraud, violation of standards, and predatory behavior I experienced with David Sowers over the course of 6 weeks and several thousand dollars spent.
David sold/trained me for a tech class he was not certified or qualified to teach, under the guise he was was a “technical instructor”. This would mean he had significantly more training than he actually does, particularly with teaching students in high risk scenarios (EG: new gear, increased depths, overhead environments). Tech instructor certifications are not easy to obtain/maintain, and you must certify a certain number of students to progress.
Based on what David told me, I believed he had extensive training and had taught a large number of students in technical (higher risk) scenarios. This is the only reason I trusted him to teach me how to work with additional cylinders, dive in overhead environments, and go to new depths. This is also why I purchased a tech class from him/ Amoray, but he was never able to give me the certification I paid/trained for.
This is because David DOES NOT have any technical instructor certifications, training, or experience. This became apparent as I worked with actual tech instructors who observed how poorly, and potentially dangerously, my gear was set up.
Upon further investigation, I learned that in addition to lying to me every day for 6 weeks, David has been expelled by other dive agencies (SDI/TDI) for similarly reckless behavior.
I still don’t understand David’s motivation, but noticed consistently spotty judgment in his interactions with younger females. I’m a younger female, but married (as David well knows), so hate to speculate more on his intentions.
I removed a previous post at the urging of the owner, Jeff, who assured me David would be terminated after the three of us sat on a conference call and David admitted to events listed above. It’s now come to my attention that David is still at Amoray, so it seems that Jeff simply wanted me to take my review down before DEMA (big scuba conference + marketing opportunity for Amoray).
I understand that most divers go to Amoray for a weekend of fun-diving, and their services might seem adequate for that. That said, we make ourselves vulnerable anytime we dive with a professional and David admittedly preyed on my vulnerability. Furthermore, Amoray’s pervasive culture of permissiveness and dishonesty has no place in the dive industry. – via
