Yea, it's the long hose and the rough water that give me issues....my weights were always on my tank straps, behind the tank. Another pet peeve is peeps slinging weight belts over the side of the gel coat ;) People just being on your boat can be annoying now that I think about it.... It's...

That's when you "lose" your ladder, narrow down your friends a little making people take their gear off in the water gets rid of the fussy types too...of course, I almost drowned myself a few times too

The government will just use your tattoos to process you, more efficiently.....;)

I was taking the trash out the other day, and retreat started and I finished what I was doing, boy did I get yelled at...I was like "sorry, I had no idea, honey" Marines don't put up with that

I thought of another one: ...when you take friends out on your boat and they start complaining that you don't have oxygen, lol...yea, that's my favorite. OR, your ladder is not safe and then they launch into telling how much they got on their latest workman's comp claim.

The shops don't always cull the problematic gear the way they should. I'd encourage anybody that was going to make more than a few dives to buy a regulator. Nobody cares about you, like you ;) PLus, that way you can "get to know" your sepcific reg, when it will free flow, etc

I prefer small dive boats (like Dive with Martin) where it could be just you or a few others, and you don't get ordered around. (I have lots of big camera stuff, not to mention usually a cooler ;)) I like to feel like the customer and not be told a bunch of rules. (those operators are...

I love show-offs, especially when they lose fins and cameras. I guess being fed Napolian Wrasse and being told it was something else was pretty annoying.... Russians, I like, just not the decorated hoses: funerals for cameras...declared dead, and covered with a towel

Safer than Facebook, hahahah

Divers are big boozers in general, because it is not that athletic.

See, I could argue that correct thinking (prevention) is even more important than training?

Exactly!

Well, assuming you have none of the above, I think speculating is the way to go.:D Much of keeping your children safe, comes from an intimate knowledge regarding how they make decisions, and then impacting how they think through preventing an accident. (When I would leave the house, I'd tell...

KIds that learn to manage risk are safer people. They learn that by seeing you model it, and by emulating you. You are constantly discussing how you manage your risk, by beginning with identifying what the actual probablities are, etc. Shallow water blackout is a good example of where to...

Teach them to freedive first :D IMO

I dont see anything, the government must have me blocked

Actually, Bob, Andy and Kim were mods extraordinaire...this was back in the days when the Fundamentalists set the tone, from what I could tell. ...back in those days, I got warnings like once a week, for things like writing up a dive sharing JBs long hose. The more they banned people, the...

Your best defense is to never buddy dive, that is the biggest trap out there. State right out of the hatch, in front of everyone you are a solo diver with a solo partner

Not bad except for that tattoo

I'm lucky I am even allowed on the internet, I just do what I'm told.
