Pack the car, then tell her you are sleeping with her sister? (suicide solution #2)
 
just tell her you are going to the doctor to get that new herpy rash of yours looked at, wherever it came from. by the time you get home you will have PLENTY of time to dive.

Just tell her, "I am the man and you are the woman, and you must listen to me. I'm going diving now, woman!"

he he....yea some of us like that. :11: Mine, he just said "back in seven months, babe."
 
I was diving before I met my husband. I told him while dating that I dive and travel a few times a year. While on our first vacation together I told him to entertain himself and I'd be back in a few hours. . .he got certified before too long.
I can't believe some people have to be bribed. . it's not like your saying, 'hey honey I'm going to the strip bar with three of my single friends, see you in a bit. . .'
Love me, love my dive gear.

Some women can really get bossy. I advise you never give them that much rope, because it is better to never give up that option. Get it out on the table early on. Maybe it is too late for you. :D

:whack: Traitor!

Need some more ideas.. I'm finding it harder to get out. Looking for more ideas.

How about a Caribbean vacation? :D
 
1. Encourage her to develop her own hobbies.
2. Get her to dive.
3. Find a vacation spot where she will have fun on the surface.

You never said why she doesn't dive. If she is afraid, her objections could be a projection of her fear onto you. If it is a health reason, it could be jealousy. If she is just uninterested, do some snorkeling on your next vacation to try to get her hooked.
