This is bullshit - you got "ordered" based on your bullshit information
and your charlie foxtrot in progress. The fact is that you and the rest
were suprised by all of this, and acted accordingly - try learning
something, like how to plan for cointigencies, instead of blaming
everybody when you clearly look like  moron in this case. The kind of
judgement you showed just plain sucks pal, and you need to wake up and
do something about it, before you end up kiling somebody with stupidity.

 What is the deal, is there some secret labotomy that is required to run
a dive boat, or is that just to be in the dive business? I never wnat to
hear a charlie foxtrot like this again with the blaming and the escuses
and this kind of outrageous irrepsonsible stupidity. Go look in the
mirror and get honest with yourself , and think this stuff through in
the future.
