Re: UG Trip to Middlegrounds June 14
If I went on a trip and had a horrible experience (stuck on a lengthy charter with a crew of ass-wipes) and received as much grief from the business owner or person in charge as the Hermes did on their trip, I too would make remind everyone about it until the day came where the owner stood up and apologized, regardless of all the other people's rosy experiences. It's only been what....like three years or more. Other than that, knock yourself out and have a good time as far as I'm concerned.
I'd be hard pressed to spend that kinda jack for a two day limit, unless they were a great FRA/SBO/FSDA/SPO sponsor. Maybe I've missed that aspect of their business plan... Last edited by junior; 05-24-2006 at 10:09 PM. |

Alright...maybe not my mission in life, but I would find it hard to forget the experience and would feel somewhat obligated to bring it up once every six months or so Last edited by junior; 05-24-2006 at 09:45 PM. |

Re: UG Trip to Middlegrounds June 14
Hey guys, to each his own. This board is all about informing each other. If I kept my mouth shut, then the unsuspecting would think the UG was the way to go.
BTW - Would ANY of you dive the MG's with ten other people on the bottom at a time????????????? Would you pay $910 for the priveledge? How would the unsuspecting EVER know this was complete BS if it was taboo to say so on the board. Hey Diver 466 - nice way to hide behind a blank profile. |

Are you saying anyone who has had a bad experience on a charter should be relentless in their attacks on the charter company? |

Re: UG Trip to Middlegrounds June 14
Depends on what your definition of "bad experience", and whether their seems to be a distinct pattern to it. Go back two or three years ago and read some of the long threads on the UG. They have a dubious track record, as evidenced by many, many other stories from people on the board.

You know damn straight if any regular on this board had a bad experience with a charter or dive equip manuf., it would be aired here. Normally it's addressed by the owner or rep. in a respectable amount of time. Same can be said for Zeagle, Kevin Bruington, Riffe and all the other SB sponsors. I respect that. I could give a shiat about the UG, it's the non-response to a bad experience on what is argueably the biggest spearo forum around that I find cowardly. I'm not making it my mission, but you will not catch me saying a good thing about Capt Rick's operation. Quote:

BTW - You have stock in the UG? Just trying to figure out what your stake in this is, or why you even care. |

It just gets old hearing the same old crap about the UG, I have no interest in the UG, I doubt they are a Publicly Owned Company, so no I do not own any stock. |

Re: UG Trip to Middlegrounds June 14
On that note, this horse has been beaten quite enough.
