Comments	Dives rushed, after the second dive while my son and I were still in the water the capt. started the boat. Dive masters would signal if I stopped to take pictures. Dive masters and Capt. left the vessel before divers debarked. I contacted Red Sail Sports via email and received no response. Dive briefs emphasised the brief little on what to look for or expect to see. Although relativley new to diving I have observed many operations and Red Sail Sports is the worst I have experienced. If offered a choice between not diving and diving with Red Sail Sports I would skip the dives.
