Comments	Contacted Romeo from Native Divers based on rec. from members of TripAdvisor.com. Said we wanted all reef dives, if possible, and mentioned names of particular ones. Picked us up on time and took us and one young man (who said he hadn't dived in four yrs.) for 1st dive on wreck at 90 ft. w/o checking C cards. Boy "blown off" wreck and picked up by boat driver. My buddy said she had almost grabbed my fin to haul herself onto wreck in fast current. (Good thing she didn't--we would have both been in Curacao!) Boy ridiculed rest of trip for being "wuss" who gave up on wreck; buddy scoffed at for coming up with little air. I had plenty of air, having recently had experience with stiff currents in Yap and Palau. However, I did not like Romeo patronizing my fellow divers. He said he would call about next day's plans. My buddy finally called him at 9 PM and he was apparently at restaurant. Said he would call next AM. Never did. Luckily, buddy had arranged contingency plans for Unique and Fly 'n Dive for next few days, as they were excellent and Romeo never showed. If you are the guy who was diving with us, I want you to know that if I had been in your fins, I would never dive again b/c of tx on boat. Just realize you were taken beyond reasonable limits and that what happened was not your fault.
