Hey everyone, I'm responsibe for the cancellation this morning. JM Minica is right. The water and weather conditions couldn't have been more beautiful. It was a missed opportunity and I take full responsibility for it. Yes, I went to Richardsons this morning to let anyone who didn't read the cancellation notice know that we just didn't show up for lack of caring. I personally spent many hours and a good chunk of money trying to put this dive together. Believe me when I say no one is more disappointed than me. I also met Carey and her husband Jim there. When I posted the cancellation, the weather conditions warranted it. I don't know how you folks operate, but I would rather error on the side of safety. Because of the lightening and weather report of adverse atmospheric conditions, I cancelled this dive. And I would do it again if the circumstances were the same. Perhaps if another dive is scheduled, we could make it later in the day so all can make up thier own minds on whether to attend or not. It would give us a chance to see for ourselves how the day was going to be. This is Hilo. Things change in a matter of minutes. So if anyone wants to grumble, then grumble at me. Because it will roll off my back like water off a duck. I believe I made the only call available at the time I made it this morning. I will always make my calls based on safety regarding diving.
