DAN's "reply" is up at
http://diversalertnetwork.com/news/a...asp?newsid=709
The gist of their response is that the charges are higher than they're willing to pay, the dispute is real, and people are suing one another over the dispute. There were plenty of weasel words in there about whether or not you'd end up having to pull out your AMEX if you found yourself needing to use one of those chambers...... whenever someone doens't say straight up "no", you can assume the answer is "yes".
Oh, they also took the time to identify
by name one individual and blame him for the whole thing.
Ok, with that said, where's the DAN people with what
IS "usual and customary"? And how come they're not saying something like this:
"Chamber treatments for a standard Table 6 range in cost from $x to $y in the region in question. The people we're having the dispute with want to charge $Z, which exceeds $Y by an outrageous amount."
Hmmmm...... no answers from DAN - just dodgeball..... I'm NOT impressed, and its clear that the long knives are out on both sides. This does not benefit us as the purchasers of these services...... before you dive, you might want to make sure the chamber you're closest to will take your dive insurance without problems!
