I've observed the same thing but I can be gruff and know it. In this instance it could just be the approach. In the scenerio you gave, the first question tells him he won't be able to help you and there for has no chance to make a living. The second question makes confuses him as you...

If we plan a dive and you violate that plan, all trust is lost and that dive is over. Plans don't have to be complex, simpler is better with new buddies. But any compromise needs to occur on the surface before the dive and can include for flexibility during the dive. I can't count the times...

get a replacement drain plug for a cooler

No, if the buddy is ignoring the discussed plan you thumb the dive, period. If the team isn't working together, the team isn't diving. Since my wife doesn't dive, when we travel I am always looking for or am assigned as a pickup buddy. I've had a mixed bag of experience with buddies, pickup...

You need to dive more!:D

A lot of things can key anxiety, I suggest having her talk with the Instructor about her specific issue(s). Most common seem to be Closterphobia Fear of Equipment failure Vertigo Some times it's just task loading. They can be addressed if properly...

See... didn't have to say it :D

You making an assumption on what actually in the bottle? I'm sure I don't have to say it by "Dump and refill if you really want to "try" it out." Tis a bit small for anything I can think of for an adult, even argon. Though my 8month old love his 6ft SpareAir bottle! (finally found a use for it!)

It's been said redundant air source.... go one better and double nearly everything else: Air, Lights, Knives/Sissors/Wire-Cutters, Masks, Liftbag/SMB, Compass, signalling device If you don't want to sling a pony mount it on you primary tank. Just make sure you start with that redundant air

You don't state where you want to go or the type of diving you'd like to do. Live aboards on the GBR are nice trips! I've been pleased booking in Cairns with both Welcome | Scuba Dive Cairns Great Barrier Reef Diving Liveaboard Australia PRO DIVE - Scuba Diving, Australia, Great Barrier Reef...

I don't share my loop with anyone, even life long friends that just want to "try it". It's not paranoid, it's not about reducing risk, it's about eliminating a potential risk. That said... if I wanted to try a new model I'd either volenteer to go first or ask for a cleaning and pay for the...

You can do a referral during your vacation and it's a class sit rep. Contact you local shop for details.

I don't do repeat business with these type of places and I always let the server know the built in tip is costing them cash.

With all the oversized crap people carry-on your in the minority worrying about it!

Did a 5 day GBR live-aboard and didn't have any issue until the night I got home... land sick for 3 days!!!!

Haven't stay at the depot yet but it looks cozy. Ive always just stayed at the Super 8, under 60 bucks a night and within 5 minutes of the mine and has a laundry dryer in case of dry suit flooding ;)

I have a 7 month old that does very well on the water surface, can't even crawl (he scoots) and yet he can get on his back in the pool. All this is a good thing since we live on a lake front. As for diving, as much as I want him to get the experience sooner rather then later, his 10th...

Since your in an advanced class now, ask you instructor if he is currently or is willing to be a councilor. You could even be nice and bring him the adult registration form ;-)

I stay at Scuba Club in Coz, other then twilight/night dive the boats leave the dock in the morning.
