We are posting this to warn others about this man and his scuba business. My wife and I decided to try to find something we could enjoy together on vacations. We found him online and discovered he gave Scuba classes at MTSU, so we thought he was legit. He told us it would take about 6 wks to complete the course and we paid him up front. It took over 3 months due to him cancelling on multiple occasions. Often times we would only find out, after driving to MTSU for our early morning Sunday class, that it was cancelled. After completing the program he will no longer answer our phone calls or return voice messages/emails. There were 20 to 30 different people over the period of 3 months taking this class. We have talked to many others who are having the same exact problem. His inattention to detail makes us think he must have a drug or alcohol problem. Its probably best we redo the class with a qualified instructor due to safety reasons inherent with this sport. Neither of us feel confident now based on all we went thru with this man. We are not mean, spiteful people and never complain about most anything. However, we have been treated so bad that we feel really taken advantage of and would hate this to happen to others if we did not speak up. Please take our advice and find another instructor. Something that was suppose to be enjoyable has turned into a frustrating nightmare and this is the only recourse we have other than getting an attorney.
