Herb, As a DM I have to and will check your gear before I let you get in the water. We do this not to just have something to do, but also to cover my A**. If i let you jump in the water and I have not checked to ensure that your gear is safe, and your tank is on, I am leaving myself open for liability and I wont let that happen. So if you go on any of my dives, either accept that I a going to check or find a different boat to dive off of. I am not about to lose something that took me a long time and money to obtain, and leave myself open for you to sue if something goes wrong. Sorry to sound snobby, but we are the ones that are liable and will be held accountable.
