I just got off a week long live aboard. Everyone did excellent, including a gentleman who had been certified for only 3 mos. Everyone got along superbly & all showed excellent diving skills. It made for a very memorable trip.

Divmstr223:maybe you can give some examples of what you mean JCDdiver...
JCDdiver:There were "AOW" divers that were like elevators. Divers decesending on / bumping into other divers. I was just somewhat surprised.
An AOW with poor bouyancy is in my opinion.Mo2vation:So - is an idiot one who has poor buoyancy?
Many different things could qualify one for that title.Mo2vation:What makes an idiot?
Sounds like it.Mo2vation:A roto-tilling clown? Someone who isn't self-sufficient? A lawn dart? A big hoover?
I'm a newbie so I hope I'm not an idiot.Mo2vation:A newbie fits some of this - doesn't make them an idiot... just new.
I second that.Mo2vation:A know-it-all with excellent skills but a big mouth, I'd consider an idiot. But that's just me.
Yup.Mo2vation:A photographer who hogs then silts out the best sites - big idiot.
Definately.Mo2vation:Divers who can't keep on schedule because they're dense, rude, practice poor dive planning, or don't care. Idiots.
Someone who does a bicycle kick instead of a scissor kick.Mo2vation:What is a DBI (dive boat idiot?)
JCDdiver:Someone who does a bicycle kick instead of a scissor kick.
