I decided to spin this off from another thread. What is up with some of the completely horrible examples of divers in advertisements and photos in popular dive magazines and brutally bad dive practices in promotional videos?
There are so many things going wrong in some of the photos it is unreal. How many dangling consoles do you see? How many examples of feet down trim? Check out the (Naui) ad in the July issue of Dive Training...what is the yellow upline for? If they are in trouble...just stand up .
I was watching some "promotional" videos from various Carribean dive locations and just cringed...my favorite is one where the voiceover talks about the great environmental concern and beauty of the reef while the diver in question has a massive console about to take-out a fan coral. Then they had videos of people riding on the backs of turtles as examples of what fun you could have.
Anyone else have any peeves about how divers are portrayed?
