Rude Divers on the Boat

Eeww

People who do not take the direction of the wind into consideration when they spit or spew overboard

One diver piled his plate with food from the buffet table on liveaboard in Thailand. There were plenty for everyone. But he never finished half of the meal every time.

I watched a diver last week on Bonaire walk over to the tanks the crews had set up dockside, for the morning boat trip, and grab a tank for her shore dive.

This saved her walking maybe 75' to the tank room like the rest of us.


This was the same diver who pushed other diver's gear aside so she could spread out her schitt, and take over an entire bench.

I heard of some off shore dumping off of Key Largo this past weekend. Friends were doing deco on the Eagle when they noticed a brown plume spreading from the back of the dive boat. Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwe!

That could just be plain old-fashioned cluelessness. Remember Hanlon's razor: "Never attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by stupidity".

I agree, but also think that some of the people in these anecdotes are "rude people who dive", and that their rudeness, unfortunately, is not exclusively demonstrated while on a dive boat.

I get the hopeful concept...ignorance, stupidity, rudeness...kinda all the same when wiping someone else's lugies out of your hair...:tmi2:

Or simply people who didn't have time to get to the other side of the boat... happened more than once. But if you'd rather have us puke in the boat than on the wrong side, that's up to you.

Yup, that's the most likely reason, IMO. The (thankfully rare) times I've gotten seasick, I've felt it coming on early enough to move to the leeward side before leaning over the gunwale.

I like that, although stupidity AND malice can be a deadly combination.
