Boat Diving Etiquette

Did anyone mention that peeing in your wetsuit is ok in the water. On deck it is not.

It's fine if you tuck your wetsuit pants bottoms into your boots.....

Is it fine if people make eye contact during?

You stare harder instead of following your flow across the deck and under peoples gear, as someone may notice

It's nice when someone brings candy and offers it around. I very rarely partake but other divers seem quite appreciative of such a little but considerate gesture.

Six pages and counting. You guys must be a lot of fun on surface intervals. Keep in mind that without the newbie / clueless / once-a-year divers you would not have access to nearly as many (or as cheap) boats. And many of you "captains" would not have a job. Around zero of those people will read this thread.

Was thinking the same thing. I've only been diving in Colombia and Roatan and I'm glad I haven't run into so many uptight and angry people.

Well, that would certainly explain your username.

Does that go for drysuits with pee valves, too?

meh...divers on keyboards...seems to be the way of the world these days...nice folks looking to have fun are the reality for the most part in my experience YMMV

Etiquette Rule: Don't hog all the shaded real estate on the boat, your skin isn't any more important that the rest of ours!
