Reminder of boat etiquette as we emerge from covid

[Wibble]

I have experienced that with divers from China. They complain their DC is not working properly but cannot understand what their DC is telling them anyway. All I can say is thank god for my Perdix. It's not a baby sitter.

Praise be for Shearwater. Dragged dive computers into the twenty-first century.

Philippino version:

Breakfast
With
Rice
And
Fish

Dried fish is the norm.

I guess you've never been on a liveaboard with Aussies or Russians!

From my own experience, Russian is miles ahead.

Not just chinese, apply to other nationalities as well.

Old wives tale. Bring your bananas. Nobody wants to deal with a cramped diver.

Come on my private boat with a banana and one of you is going over the side!

??
And why is that? Are you allergic or superstitious?

I'm trying to recall if I've been on a liveaboard that didn't have a huge bunch of bananas hanging somewhere.

I only go on yachts, not boats.
And when you dive, you usually, you know, go over the side.

that's really the best one but I think most westerners could not relate.

Bananas are great dive boat food. Tastes the same coming up as going down...

Cochinita torta with extra habenero for breakfast. Can make for an extra meal at 90', also good for a detailed inventory of the fish on the reef.

Cousteau probably would have never used dynamite for reef inventory if he had thought of this. Brilliant.
