Apparently they take a 50% cut of anything you book through them.
Seems excessive.

Major supermarkets have over 50% markup on foods. Clothes shops put 350% markup on everything.
That's the way business works.

Dive shops = 100% markup on general gear, only 10-15% on cameras.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

God, it's like they're a business or something. Clearly some sort of profit scam.

How dare they make money?!  There ought to be a law against it, there really should. Is someone going to contact the press about this?

Ahhh, yes, but 100% of [LIFTED] all is still 100% Aha!

It's not the profit as such, but 50% seems a little excessive. You must have to be desperate to promote your business this way, which smacks of exploitation.
