nessum:Ok, I'll bite, Hank.
So... the morals are: Women can be gear-heads too. Women can dive spectacular cold-water environments, too. And men can make good dive buddies, believe it or not.
Azza:Can they give you crap if you refuse to carry theirs?
grazie42:When I go diving I just want to dive...
For the dive you could be a greeneyed monster from outer space for all I care (as long as you know how to dive well)...So how do you find out if your potential buddy dives well (according to your definition of well)? You go diving!
It´s as simple as that!
That really is what I look for in a buddy most...
If a buddies airconsumption means that my dive is cut short 5/10 mins, so what? Having said that I prefer dives to be in the 45/60 min range so if someone is consistantly "overbreathing" a discussion about tank sizing is propably enough to take care of the problem...
If I feel I have to "audition" to become someones dive buddy, I´ll just whish them the best and send them on their merry way...male or female...I dive to have fun, I have enough demands/pressure above the surface...anyone who tries to introduce that below will be sent packing...
I´m amazed at the number of people volounteering to dive with you Gidds, based on the way you´ve expressed yourself in this thread I for one wouldn´t want to dive with you...maybe I´ve got the wrong impression and living across the atlantic it propably wouldn´t have happened anyway but I´m just saying...maybe your attitude is part of the problems you´re having finding buddies...
YMMV
Gidds:If you want to give me a tip or a trick that would make it less of a struggle for me that is very much appreciated
Hank49:Bowflex?
