Titolo: Che barca era???

Ciao a tutti, qualche settimana fa (circa 5) c'era un messaggio sul NG
riguardo al pessimo epilogo di una crociera sub in mar rosso. Non
riesco piu' a trovarlo. Qualcuno potrebbe ripostarlo????
Grazie e buone immersioni
Paolo

I'm writing to you to tell my bad experience during my last 
holiday in Sharm El Sheikh.
I'm a scuba diver and together with other 11 divers we planned a
one week cruise on a boat named "Ocean King 1".
The instructors and maybe the
owners of the boat are Roberto Nardelli and Cristina Righini.
This is the fifth time I come to the Red Sea for diving and
I love so much the sea, the desert and people,
but this time my holiday became a nightmare. The boat
wasn't the one we had booked, the engine was completely broken,
the staff on board seemed to be on a strike (we ate at
impossible hours and food was less and less every day),
we hadn't water for washing us (we were twelve!!)
the instructors didn't want to take us underwater
and their behaviour on board was incredible!!
but the worst thing happened the last night, while we
were sleeping near Tiran Island: three complete technical
equipments were stolen from the boat.
The owners of the boat told us that it was our fault and that
maybe someone came during the night to steal the equipments.
We were desperate, the amount of the damage was over 5.000 $!!!
we asked to come back to Sharm to go to the Police,
but they said it was unnecessary, because the
Police doesn't work for these problems.
In the evening we decided to pay the
boat and we took the envelope with the money from our cabin,
but...surprise!! 300$ were stolen from there!
we went immediately to the Police station to
make the complaint and we stayed there from six in the evening to
midnight.
We hadn't eat and drink anithing from the early morning so we
asked to go and eat something. Thanks to a very nice and honest
egyptian guide, Ahmed, who works for Turisanda we understood
each other with the police and the situation seemed ok.
We knew that we couldn't have back our equipments, but
Roberto Nardelli and Cristina Righini had our passports and tickets
for the return flight of the day after. After a pizza we came back
at the police station and the situation was different,
even the policemen were different, in a few words The two owners
of the boat were right and we were not.
They wanted the others 300$ stolen from the cabin and didn't
want to give us our passports. In the end we had the passports
the day after, we had a sleepless night, we paid an over
"commission" of 300$ and we came back without our equipments.
It's a pity...we met the worst people in the most beautiful place
in the world...I'm writing to you to inform other divers to avoid the
boat "ocean King 1" and above all the two italian owners who are very
dishonest people, the disgrace of the SSI Instructors in the Red Sea,
the shame of all homest people who work in Sharm.
Thank you very much.

Mi risulta che l'ocean king sia originaltour.
Buona crociera :-)
