Zak, I do not have a problem with people expressing negative opinions about Culebra or the people that live and work there. As I stated, nobody is perfect and everybody has a bad day. And in some cases, the criticism is warranted.
What I find objectionable are comments like this:
"They never had any intention of putting us on a beach. That day, Taz and Anne saw $90 sitting on the dock waiting to board their boat, $90 standing there in tennis shoes with beach chairs and bags and a cooler... they knew that $90 was going to walk away if they told us what we were in for that day. And they decided that $90 was worth being deceiving and ruining a couple's last day of vacation. We were swindled. We were misled. That is what you can expect from Taz and Aquatic Adventures."
That sort of language and implication goes way too far. There is a difference between somebody treated you poorly and suggesting they are dishonest. Maybe that is what set me off. It would be a shame for somebody who has never been to Culebra to read your post and think Taz is some sort of crook. He isn't. He runs a boat that offers scuba, snorkeling and delivery to Culebrita. On that day the weather conditions sucked and he made the decision it wasn't safe to go. You may not have agreed with the decision or the way it was handled thereafter, but to state so bluntly that he "swindled" you ... I am sorry but that goes too far.
You may have done your research before visiting Culebra. But many others do not. It is always worth pointing out the good, bad and ugly of Culebra. That way people know what they are getting into. Things don't always go as planned on Culebra. That certainly happened in your case. How one chooses to deal with it is up to them.
