Why would you start a rumor such as this? No basis in fact and totally uncalled for.

The Cruise NH company has been a good neighbor and an asset to the lake for decades, there is no reason to disparage them with uncalled for speculation

This is no rumor, nor is it disparagement. It's merely a question since The Dive was attempting to work out an agreement for dock space—space right near the original Mt. Washington—that fell through...not long before an "additional" Mt. Washington.

PS For the record, reports suggest that things weren't going smoothly in the first steps with The Dive. From a February LaDaySun:

"Myers told the council in October that there were several issues regarding The Dive’s operations, including the placing of a no-trespassing sign on the city-owned dock, concerns that unattended and untethered propane gas cylinders posed a potential safety hazard, and that trash was being left on a tender for extended periods and not being brought ashore immediately for disposal."

I'm thinking that the Pandemic may have actually played a large part in the decision for The Dive to cease operations. Docking costs may have also played a part.

2020 was financially difficult for many of these businesses, and I'm confident that start up businesses were adversely affected. I would call The Dive a start up since they began in 2018 or 2019.

Has the Dive decided to cease operations, I hadn't heard? They have a post on fb as recent as April 16th.

I don't believe so—last I read, they were going to be setting up shop somewhere in Paugus Bay.
