Vince,
A lot of us on the island have been trying to remember you... and no one does. For a small island, that is odd. When were you here? Where did you stay? Who did you hang out with? What is your last name and how can folks contact you to make this right?
Our two current dive operations here are first-class. Culebra Divers (run by Walter and Monica) and Aquatic Adventures (run by Taz) strive to offer the best and safest service possible. And they do so admirably. Diving here is phenomenal and both operations are very successful because they provide an excellent diving experience. I recommend friends and clients to both of them.
If you had a bad time with one of our dive operations, why didn't you let them know immediately? Here on Culebra, we're kind people who want nothing more than to make sure tourists have a good time. Posting something on the internet that can destroy a person's reputation is legally dangerous. It's called libel. The clear defense to libel (which is maligning a person's reputation in print in front of more than one other person or on a public place such as this forum) - is truth. Can you prove your allegations, and provide your ticket stubs to prove you were here, where you stayed, and how you paid Taz? I'm a journalist, and I'm really familiar with libel and slander law... and I hate to see either of our dive operations libeled or slandered.
Neither one of our dive operations has come close to getting a review as horrible as yours. And, as I said, we - on the island - haven't heard of any problems. If you can't prove what you wrote, you might think about the legal consequences of hurting a person's reputation. And you might think about having your posting on this website eliminated... along with my response. Heck, I suspect even this website is liable for libel for having allowed you to make such charges.
My email address is: bonniemanderson@aol.com My phone number is 404-317-2896. What is yours? I offer this in the spirit of honesty and transparency.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Bonnie
