Sorry, I know I'm the wrong gender, but I'm always curious what the better half has to say...

and now i've found a boyfriend who won't get under water even if i begged

Ah yes the male croatian mentality...I know it well. I would think most guys would jump at the opportunity. If I started dating a girl that say...skydived...woohoo!!! But then again, I think divers are to some degree daredevils and want to live life to the "controlled edge"...lol
Beg? Well, that's his loss I guess. There's been a thread on this topic before, but I tend to want to date someone that at least would consider diving and perhaps at least take the OW course. This brings down the dating possibilities quite a bit. I'm going to Palau with a group and a woman is traveling with us and leaving the husband at home for 2 weeks...he doesn't dive. Some might consider this a blessing...I'd really want my girlfriend/wife to dive. Then again, diving is becoming more and more a passion.

so i'm still in a search of a dive buddy.. anyone?!

Pick me...Pick me :wave:
Uzput mozemo i razgovarat na nekoliko jezika...ti meni na engleski, a ja tebi na hrvatski...lol
=-)

As far as women diving...I'm all for it. Wish there were more. Matter of fact, I'd rather have a female diver with me than a male diver. Maybe it's my ego surfacing...don't know.

My question is: Have you asked female friends to dive? What are the reasons for those that have declined?

During my last trip to Cozumel and G.C., the ratio was roughly 50-50. Alot of couples, diving together. I paired up with a female diver and it was a great conversation starter. My male buddies "hooked up" with her non-diving friends which made things enjoyable for everyone

Hey I'm single! I've been diving for 2 years with no avail. (in the man category) :wink:

careful! around here, you'll get more dates than you can shake a stick at! :wink:
 
is that you can do it as a couple and in groups of mixed-gender, mixed-skill friends. There are only a few things that women, men, and people of varying skill/experience/age/background can do and enjoy together. Sure there are certain circumstances where you only want experienced divers, etc. but as a rule it is an even playing field. This is especially for vacation diving in warm climates, which is generally the kind I do.

For the woman going to Palau w/o hubby, that is sad to me. If I am taking two weeks off to relax, I want my husband with me! Maybe that's one reason I married a diver.:idea:
 
LOL, look out girl, you just opened the floodgates! :wink:

Seriously, I think diving is a very friendly sport for women, there isn't as many involved as men, but I know with the group I dive with, ANY diver that is competent is more than welcome.
