I have been booking trips on the Great Escape for six years now and every year I have added more trips as I find the Great Escape to be a great boat and the crew to be superior to most of the boats in California I have been on. I have been diving liveaboard boats for thirty years and find Tim to do his best to get you were you want to go when it is possible. So many divers do not know what it take to set a boat of this size in the wind and using just one anchor not an easy thing to do. I have been in the wheel house when the water was going over the window before Tim turned around. I don't think alot of people would risk there boat or property to get a group to a dive site not to mention the safety of the passengers. The food on the boat is excellent and they try to meet any special needs requested and I know for a fact he is always looking for something new to serve his passengers. I have six trips booked with the Great Escape this year and I hope this Jeff does not decide to join us as I have had customers like this and they are never happy and always looking for a refund. Perhaps he should buy a boat and be captain of his own vessel, as for me I will continue to dive with Captain Tim and Crew who have become freinds along with business partners. We made Santa Barbara all of the trips we went on in 2007, once we were the only boat there.
