I dive Hydros Pro with split fins. I am pretty new to SB. Am I a laughing stock for some reason? I sense sarcasm but not sure what it is about. I assume an inside joke...
I thought people would make fun of me for having two alternates, but I suppose it is possible people were making fun of me all along behind my back for more than one reason
I was using BP/W with long hose.What were you diving that looked so alien to them? If it was a bp/w I would say that they were not very good professionals. As pros we should understand different gear configs and not look like a deer in headlights when we see something that is not a jacket bcd.
How do you get or even hear about that understanding if you never see the equipment and never meet anyone who has seen it? How do you even know it exists?
I was agreeing with you.Never mind.
You can look at diving as a spectator sport (as in looking at the fishies) or a competitive sport.
In no way shape or form are the subject of sarcasm. If you do a nice job with trim and buoyancy, you have achieved good standards in the scuba community irregardless of what some think.I dive Hydros Pro with split fins. I am pretty new to SB.

I started with split fins in about 2008 when I won them at a dive "treasure hunt" contest. People don't like them because they don't give you a lot of power like other fins. So they are not as useful if you get stuck in a rough current. So, you're GUNNA DIE!I dive Hydros Pro with split fins. I am pretty new to SB. Am I a laughing stock for some reason?
