Admit to being a SBer or not

[H2Andy]

on my non-Conch dives, ScubaBoard usually comes up in the context of me telling
someone i learned x, y, or z at ScubaBoard, and suggesting they try it.

i don't think i've actually ever "told" anyone about ScubaBoard without prompting

Believe it or not... I have some SB polos too. And no... I don't wear them backwards.
Sometimes inside out but not backwards.

What a slave to fashion.

I tell other divers if the subject comes up. If I want a good meal then I tell people that I'm working for Travel and Leisure.

The thought of mentioning SB to a tour operator would not have crossed my mind... That being said, it's in my mind now...

I don't know what an SBer is....

i always play the perks
lead a group of 6 - 8 and usually get a free trip.
mentioning a dive club and links back to the dive op is good for a discount package and free dives everytime.

Interesting! I'll have to try to play that out

I don't always tell people but some how they seem to figure it out anyway (maybe I should stop wearing my SB shirts around). Seriously though, when I'm checking out a "new" business I often hold off on disclosing who I work for simply so I can get a better picture of the business. Depending on my goal (to evaluate the store or just get a dive in) I will either explain it in due time, if it fits the conversion, or hold off and draw my conclusions without dropping any names. Ultimately it is a matter of what I'm doing, who it's with and what's being said. Getting new members is fun but sometimes it's just not appropriate to drop a name.

As Patrick Swayze said to Demi Moore in "Ghost".... "DITTO."

I do talk SB at Catalina's Dive Park since divers there often recognize me from my profile picture. Have never considered talking about it with an OP for better service. That's why I like the reviews in Undercurrents' Chap Books.

I've actually had three people come up to me and ask if I'm Max Bottomtime.
If it weren't for scuba bulletin boards, I'd just be Phil Garner, anonymous diver. :11:
