What are your biggest pet peeves?

[Rhone Man]

My biggest pet peeve is taking the day off for a specially planned dive and then having to cancel due to weather.

My second biggest is intolerant divers.

My third is Lionfish.

Well, Jax, some of the biggest offenders at silting in our local mudhole are harbor seals, and I get peeved at them, too

Well . . . you have to be careful with that . . . . :blinking:

My instructor and I were diving, and there was a huge cloud of silt in our path. I deftly navigated around it, but was thinking ugly thoughts about the OW class and their instructor. Delightfully, a big catfish swam out and ahead of me, and distracted me. (Look, a frisbee!)

Afterward, I was fussing, "What was with all that silting . . ?"

Instructor - "Didn't you see all those fish? They were rooting for food - that's what all those fresh, upturned holes were . . . "


:doh:

Sooo. . . is this a wolf eel (left coast) or a wolf fish (right coast), assuming it's N America?
Yeas, i know what happens when I assume. . .

It's not a ray?

We call it a wolf eel ... but it's not an eel, it's a fish ... the world's largest blenny ...

I don't like to pass judgment, but I am pretty sure that Bat Eel is not DIR...

It has probaly already been mentioned, but the practice of divers releasing a torrent of gas from their cylinders in order to blow water from their dust caps is a violation of peace and serentity standards punishable by throwing overboard.
