Odd Buddies?

[BioNerd]

just a quick and rookie question but can one person have two buddies during a dive. I know laguna will ticket you if you dont have a buddy but what if you have two buddies. Is that ok or does there need to be an even number of people everytime? thanks

Hi Kiet,

Good question!

There is nothing wrong with diving in a team of 3.

Having 3 on a team can be preferred if everyone has a high level of awareness underwater. Without having a high level of awareness, 3 people underwater can be more difficult to manage.

OK... I just got a REEEEALLLY funny visual image of about 9 divers, moving across the sand, en masse towards the water, and being stopped by the Laguna Snorkle police.

SP: "Do you all have buddies, here?"

MASSE, droning in unison: "We are ALL buddies in Neptune's eyes".

SP: "No, I mean in pairs and triplets. So you can buddy-snorkle in case someone loses a snorkle in this crushing 2 foot surf."

MASSE, droning in tighter unison: "We are ALL buddies in Neptune's eyes".

SP: "Well... OK... ya'll just stay together now, ya hear??!?"


Thankfully, I've never heard of the beach constabulary ever challenging the number of buddies on a team... as long as it's at least 2.
There are valid reasons to limit teams to 2 or 3 people, but that's a whole 'nother discussion .

Dive joyfully,

I dive with odd buddies all the time. Even when there's only two of us.


Actually we had 5 divers this morning. We did get stopped on the way down; luckily I had my 3 man team specialty card so she let us go.

Josh and I are so odd we posted the same joke (more or less) at the same time.
