It is important for everyone to understand the facts.
Valentine’s Dive Center is a legitimate dive operation recognized by the Bahamian Government as well as the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI), Divers Alert Network (DAN, Bahamas Air and Sea Rescue Association (BASRA), Dive Equipment and Marketing Association (DEMA) and the Bahamas Diving Association (BDA).
Our priorities are to make sure our clients have a fun, enjoyable and safe time with us. We value our professionalism and reputation as a first class dive operation. It is therefore unfortunate for everyone involved in the tourist and service industry in Harbour Island as well as the persons who look up on Briland.com website to hear such negative comments coming from the another dive shop. Jealously can be a destructive disease. If you are truly a reputable business there is no need to result to slander of any kind including on this website. We have never done so and refuse to lower ourselves to that level. If someone has a personal or business problem at least have the courtesy to address the issue directly to that particular person or business; that’s if the issue isn’t fictional - which seems to be the case.
Briland.com is the window to Harbour Island the island of ‘friendly people’ - let’s do our best to keep it that way.
Merry Christmas and Happy Diving to everyone.
Regards
Chris and Laura Bartenfelder
