It didn't do a thing for the GUE instructor who had his O2 bottle stolen there a couple of years ago

Leave a tank filled with Sarin or VX around the stairs, if anybody steals it and breaths it, they'll never steal anything again. If more of us did that, Ginnie would soon not have any problems with thefts.

Thats a bit wierd. I guess when it comes down to it, if they want it bad enough, there going to take it. Throw the buddy in with the bottles, then go and get suited.

IS that a crack on my german heritage??? You Don't have your papers? Vere are your papers? Ve have Vays of making you talk....TUBER!!!


Seriously has anyone tried to sit down with management? Rich? You're pretty close up there any in-roads to be made?

I have no idea what you are talking about! Tubers is a bad word? Not PC?

Any who, I'm going to Ginnie tomorrow and if someone in management is there to mention the situation to, I'll talk about it.

The manager, Rose should be there tomorrow. She can give you an explananation to why Ginnie Spring cannot police or ensure the safety of the equipment.

I don't think that anyone is asking that Ginnie Springs ensure (or insure) their gear. But it would be nice if they would make a little bit of effort.

I realize that the money I pay for diving there is not a large percentage of their income, but if you add in the camping fees for 3+ trips a year for my family, the tube rentals, ice, firewood, etc associated with these weekend trips, now we are talking real money. But wait, I forgot the two masks, the reel, the 3 lights, the Tshirts, the air fills, the regulator, the reg rentals, the tank rentals, the cavern class thru one of their instructors, a few Zknifes, quite a few visits to the Ginnie Deli, more camping fees during two courses taken there, and several hundred dollars of my money that I haven't remembered yet.

I have always had a GREAT experience dealing with the Ginnie staff one on one. But this, I guess you could call it, corporate attitude, leaves me incredulous. Yeah, we might not be the greatest percentage of their busines. But I bet you they would miss our dollars if they were gone.

Why are we paying more to dive there then a tuber does? What are we getting for it? If they are not going to make it safe or more convenient for the divers, then they should stop charging us more than a tuber.

[Dave]

Look around next time you are there and count patrons. It would be something like 150 campers & tubers 5 cave divers.

Let us hope they don't ever decide to shut the place down to cave divers.

Great point Jim, lets not forget who pays the bills.
We are the minority, and more than likely the bigger pain in the butt.
Be thankful for what we have.

Easy access to a great cave system
Steps
Hot showers
Dive shop
Deli

I find it very safe (if you use common sense!) and very convenient, plus the staff there are great

If you don't like it, don't dive there and as others have said just be glad for what we have....

And at $300 for a pass that's less than a dollar a dive/day, plus you got nitrox and mix right down the road

Safe diving,

Rich

Are you trying to say that Ginnie finally put in that Nitrox station....AND added mix to it?!

Back in town thats a drive, its actually a left at the stop sign, then another, then down that road. And if you dont know the handshake, they will charge you, as much as the shop alllll the waaaaayyy down at the crossroads.
