How do you find a dive buddy?

[Crunch36]

Well I'm here in missouri if anyone wants to dive

 

[Twoblues]

i usually find them annoying and incompetent.

Who?

 

[Twoblues]

If my normal buddy isn't available and I'm not diving with one of my LDS then I'm solo. If by chance I run into someone I know or have dove with in the past then I might buddy up. That is of course if they're willing to dive my profile and not complain about me taking videos or riding the NDL or short deco. I dive for me, not them

Solo is good! Once was paired on a boat in Nassau with a 100 lb. woman from the Netherlands, when my air was low had to return through the seaweed , while she cruised below!

I live in the Dominican Republic. I find it difficult to find someone who is cave certified. Not many of us around.

Does anyone know how I could get support on Divebuddy.com?
I tried signing up back in December 2022 and after waiting three months to get approved, I decided to delete the account and try again.

Now Im getting an error telling me my account is suspended.

Sent multiple emails for support but never got a response.

Based on personal experience, be careful with this one. They have a very strict or long screening process before you could use the site. Site does not seem as active as scubaboard.com and no support at all from the site admin.
