Post dive brewski etiquette

[TheHuth]

Question for everyone. What is the etiquette about bringing beers along for post dive:

1) On a boat where they sell beer
2) At a shore dive site
3) Other situation that I may not have though of

What is the etiquette about bringing beers along for post dive

Bring some for me too? An IPA? ;-)

But seriously...

1) Seems tacky. But I'd do it anyway because I'm a beer snob. (Edit: Actually, I'd wait until I'm ashore and then hit the pub, unless I was on a liveaboard.)
2) Yes, please!
3) Yes, please!

IPA's are about all you'd see me bring

I've become very fond of Goose Island as of late.

Depends on the rules of the boat I once had a boat owner get very irate over a post dive beer. Another time I broke out the beer and we all had s good time infact the owners of the diveshop bought be for the next days trip. My view of it is being enough to share or be discreet with it. Know the local laws and share with the captain and dive buddy. Also first beer ends your dive day obviously.

I usually have one onshore after a two dive shore day, which is most of my diving. No etiquette as I'm usually alone. When I took the Deep Course years ago here in NS one of the instructors went back down to where the spare air was hung which puzzled me. That's where the 6 pack was kept all day in the 33- 35F water.

only issue i see on a charter is the glass bottle - some take issue with breakables so bring a bottle coozie or make it a can. Drinking is always more fun in numbers - both in quantity of beers and friends. Lots of the former ensures more of the later

Flask and bourbon - Eagle Rare and yes, I will share

When we were on Blackbeards there was a beer tap just aft of the tank racks and if you planned well you had a mug ready to make use of said tap on deck so that you could get a cold beer started before you were even out of your wetsuit. if you didnt have your mug then there was always other options like a tap stand using a snorkel.

I would be careful on a boat that sells beer as that may be against the rules and you don't want to piss off the captain and get on the "boat's full" list, but other than that I don't have any objections. I usually go for whiskey depending on time of year, but that's just me
