What did you just say?

Ok, let's hear it about the stupidest things you've heard another diver say. For now, it was an Open water student saying that she didn't need to know her equipment well or know how to set them up because she was just going to be a leisure diver, not a master diver. :shocked2::shocked2::shocked2:

One of the classics gotta be someone who put on a different computer for the second dive and when asked why replied "I want more dive time"..

I'm going to take the [university; lower cost] rescue class so I can keep on diving. It's cheaper instead of renting.

This coming from a rescue diver who plans to buy all his own gear within the next 5 months. Yes, I did type that right.

That's kind of smart though. For all you know, the fella might have gotten better gear in the end if he / she'd waited for some fantastic closeouts or saved more in the few months leading to the purchases?

If you find yourself too bouyant at the end of the dive, pull the butt-dump at the same time as the inflator dump. That will suck water into the bladder and make you heavier.

(This was someone who claimed to be a commercial diver)

Im not sure how its to suck water in, but that aside.. water is heavier than water? SWEET

Not in my opinion. You would still be $200 dollars out the tube for the class fees; money that can be spent on said fantastic closeouts. You're also taking up a spot in the class that other divers need, and in fact many got wait listed and never got into the class.
And since said diver was with the university program from previous classes, he could still have dove w/ the program to help the Basic and Adv. classes without being enrolled in the rescue class and still utilize the free university gear. Heck, he would have even been able to TA the rescue class.

My favourite so far was from a young lady who'd run her air down very low, which ended the group's dive. I watched the DM repeatedly signal to her, asking how much air she had remaining, and she just stared blankly back. Then he swam across, grabbed her spg, checked it then thumbed her up.

Her first question on the surface was "Did I do something wrong?" Genius.

New little student girl walking past.

Me: How was the dive and viz?
She all smiling and happy: The dive was nice and viz good, but I burst my ear drum so came up early.
