i am glad that unique water sports replied and reacted.

let's take a different view on this (humor me).

let's say "lady diver" had the same difficulties in Grand Cayman or Gloucester or in the Fla. Keyes. probably no one i suspect would give her the time /suggestions/sympathy........the owner of the dive shop/tour would probably not reply or make ammends.
(that is my opinion)

my point is..........we are a community of helpful, kind, proactive individuals that are continually promoting all the GOOD aruba and her people have to offer and we try to make certain that all of the "good", significantly outweighs any "bad".

another point is, the aruban citizens are kind caring and laid back folks. their lives and livelihoods depend on tourism.......even those that do not work in the tourism industy directly.

aruban folks love tourists. they love the fact that it keeps food on their plates and a roof over their heads. they love the fact that they are well educated. they love the fact that tourists usually treat them with respect. they have a much better way of life than folks in any of the other caribbean countries.

education is the "key" with arubans. their education/public school system is tops.

aruba = utopia...............certainly not, but their way of life and their attitudes are certainly envied by many.

again, emmitt and his crew have reacted and all of us are grateful and our faith got an extra kick in the bum.

lady diver thank you for the post and everyone else "way to go"
thread is now closed.
have a good weekend friends

I will however say that your shop is recommended on the scubaboard which is why you will get my money and time. I personally feel you displayed true professionalism in your post so again thank you.
