[Diving Dude]

l really honestly am not bothered about who was first on the wreck. It's the skipper that l have an issue with.

Chasey chartered the boat to dive the Ice Prince. Graham acepted the charter. Then Chasey rings to get the details and is told we cannot dive the IP and it's insinuated that because it's not the skippers fault the charter has to go ahead.
Chasey points out that Tango was happy to go there and Graham says he'll look into it. Why didn't he look into it when Chasey made the original booking?
l think it's because 'like a lot of Weymouth Skippere' they just think the boats chartered we'll just dive another wreck or Portland Harbour.

l used to dive out of Weymouth a lot but stopped about 8 years ago because l was fed up with getting down there and being told we couldn't dive X wreck which we'd planned but we could dive the harbour. They seem to have the idea that if the boat is able to go out and dive anything, even if it's not what the client wants they get paid. they get paid.

l think l'll move my building business down the Weymouth. Just imagaine someone contracting me to build a conservatory and l build a porch instaed and still insist on payment because l've still put the work in.

Anyhow, surely someone must have dived it before last weekend?

And if it is such a big cherry why didn't the skipper save it for the folk that had chartered the boat to do it?

NB. l don't think it is a big cherry to dive it first, we'll just have to read others reports to see if they think the same.
