In my experience, females make *better* dive buddies due to their attentiveness and air consumption. I wish you luck on finding women to dive with, but don't count all of us guys out automatically. Some of us aren't bad at all

Gidds:I am trying to find myself some dive buddies and I'd prefer to dive with another female but I somehow forgot what a "macho" sport this is! Now that I've had time to think about it yes the majority of the people at local dive sites are men, most of the employees at the LDS are men, and boy there seem to be a lot of men on this board!
Do you ladies dive primarily with a.) men b.) other ladies c.) 50/50?
I'm going to see if the LDS can help me find a female buddy but I may just have to bite the bullet.
Twistinside:I just want to dive...the problem that I have is that most of the divers I know are men, (married men) and either their wives have a problem with them diving with me, or I feel like I'm intruding on some sort of he-man woman haters club....I just want to dive, you can have him back when we surface!!
CUunderH2O:I dive with mostly men, 'cause that's what's available. The big question is, how much do you want to dive?
