I'd say they only dropped it because of high-level pressure and adverse publicity. I wouldn't assume the same outcome with, for example, a random ozzie instructor on a diving holiday. The concerning issue, IMHO, is that such serious charges were bought at all, particularly given the absurd allegations contained therein (improper diving profile etc.). Also the fact that they didn't even inform him of their investigation or give him a chance to appear!
My view is, who's to say they won't do it again?
> Most people have no issues diving in Malta
Until they do! :-)
PS. Not trying to start an argument, just stating my view from this side of the pond :-)
- lobster_johnson 9y agoSure. But "until they do" applies to anything. No one has issues until they do. One bad incident doesn't automatically ruin everything.
- A_Person 9y agoMost people do not have car accidents. But seeing one might reasonably cause you to wonder how that happened, whether it might happen to you, and if so, how you might reduce your risk. Seeing what happend to Stephen Martin, I ask myself, could that happen to me (if I was diving there), and if so, how could I reduce my risk? The answers (for me) are Yes It Could, and Don't Dive There!
