Every agency that I have ever heard of
promotes/teaches the buddy system in their most fundamental-entry level courses. Why is it that Dan and his buddies aborted this philosophy, this ever so Golden Rule? By doing so, Drifting Dan jeopardized the safety of everyone on the trip that day. He slandered the name of the dive vessel and its Captain. This sorry excuse for a man should not only have been thankful that he survived but also thankful that his haphazard behavior didn't kill anyone else. Instead he choose to captolizing on others misfortune, that of having an idiot on board that day, then slandering their livelyhood. What a cherry.
Everyting Dan did was against any commonly known practice in the scuba world. He created this circus himself and now wants to profit from it. We need to stand together and support Capt.Ray, our sport and stand togehter against cowboys like drifting Dan, who threatens our right to dive.
