This category gives readers a chance to vent their spleen. Usually it goes to some product or organisation that emerges as being regarded as particularly bad (as well as the toilets at the Dosthill inland site, which have won a steady stream of votes ever since the DIVER Awards began, and have become a sort of running joke, if you'll forgive the lavatorial puns).
Because this award usually reflects many individual grievances, it gets fragmented.
However, this year we were inundated with votes for a certain mustachioed Geordie dive-trip leader who seems to have managed to offend an awful lot of people!
Whether it was alleged inaccuracies in his book, his attitudes to foreigners and the passengers of other liveaboard boats, his inappropriate claims to the proprietorship of certain Red Sea wrecks,
or his own self-importance, the list of complaints just seemed to be endless.

Who was it? It would be too cruel to name this individual, but if you're reading this you know who you are - and so, it seems, do an awful lot of DIVER readers!

If you ever spend some time time with him, you will see. He can be quite offensive without even thinking about it.

He is not one to blow his own trumpet either. As was said to his face on a Red Sea trip I was one, he plays the full orchestra.

He does get you on the sites though, not letting any resident dive guide stopping you from doing what you may want to do. As long as this does not conflict with his desires.
