Leon's a tweeker. He probably hasnt been on a dive boat in 10 years. He has probably never been on tims boat. Take him as the tweek he is and no more. Those who dive boats regularly know the score. That score is that boat diving is the best value in diving california after costs and for cool experiences. If you dont get that value from the boat you dive, find another like many of us have done and become their regular customer. Thats even more added value. First name basis with the captains and crews and the extra step they take to make your diving experiences good ones to remember, not whine about. Leon should give us his best ommercial dive charter business model on how a dive boat should be run and prove how it's a waste of his diving dollar. Purchase, insurance, captains license, slip or other storage including trailering costs, hot quality food, hot and cold drinks, fuel, repairs, maint, crew labor, advertising, and all the rest of the tangales and intangables.
