That's pretty scary, and then you're demeaning Jah Jah for calling him out on it? What's happened to ScubaBoard? This is the Advanced forum, not the Basic nor the New Diver.
Yeah, it is pretty scary, NO argument. "Demeaning," NO. Holding responsible, YES.
And yeah, I like CAPS when I'm . Deal with it.
YOU want to talk about "advanced" and "technical" diving and what's safe?
Did this guy make a mistake? Sure. Could he have used better judgement? Sure. Did he put himself and his wife at risk? Yep.
Did he admit all that in the first post? Yes, he did.
So, does bashing someone the way a few of you have really help him? Obviously not. I'm curious, what kind of instructor taught you guys that busting on people is the best way to improve them? What agency certified him or her? I'd sure like to find out because all the instructors I've ever met in "advanced" and "technical" diving have never done that. If they did, they wouldn't last as instructors very long.
Poor judgement and stupidity are far from the property of "new" and "basic" divers only. Shall I go down the list of the "no longer immortals?" It's a pretty damn LONG one, huh? No diver is immune from stupidity.
So do me a favor. BE NICE. If you want to be a moderator, be a MODERATOR.
Ya'll got a lot to learn about what's important in diving.
