What's the use?

[Web Monkey]

I'd like to see the instructor who let you get thru DM with this kind of stuff. Another winner to be sure. Can I have his gear when he dies?

You're too late. H2Andy already claimed rights to the gear and I'm getting his never-used dive tables. However, seeing as how I'm a nice guy and all our students get tables in their book bags anyway, you can have his tables if you want.

Honestly, at this point, I'm really hoping for "troll" and that someone isn't cranking out DMs with no training and fake dives (although that wouldn't surprise me either)..

I have a divemaster certification and it was difficult to obtain it at first because even though I had dived for almost 5 years and had extensive experience I didn't log anything. So, I just made a bunch of dives/dates up and now I have it.

I think you were the topic of a thread recently...

Seriously whats the use in using dive tables if you're only going to log one dive? I'll go down to 90 or so feet and do my 2 safety stops and get out of the water and get drunk at my local pub. I can see if you're doing multiple dives, but usually I feel like a bag of smashed a**holes when I get out of the water and do not feel like diving again.

I'm assuming by the "" icon that this is a joke, right??? To come up feeling like "a bag of smashed @$$holes" should probably tell you something....that maybe you're not off gassing properly. I'm pretty sure you're just messing around (or at least I hope you are), so I'm not even going to try to convince you're wrong when you say you can dive as deep and as long as you want, provided you're doing two safety stops and only one dive. We all know that's silly....

Because some people go on a dive trip to dive and some people go on a trip to get drunk and feel like a "bag of smashed a**holes" and it appears you are of the later, an underwater tourist/drunkard rather than a diver. More power to you.

I don't think I can answer your question to your satisfaction, but I think I can give you some helpful related advice.

First, be sure to include this question in any interview you go on in your job quest:

Next, when you are looking for buddies and female dive companionis, be sure to tell them that you are only good for one dive.

I also suggest you start working on your multi-dive capacity before you start your quest for four wreck dives per day:

Finally, an explanation for your lack of endurance may lie in the energy it takes to loot wrecks and remove the artifacts that other divers may wish to see:

Lets NOT dogpile on any member new to this board,even if their statments are flawed.
We ALL can make mistakes. I know I made some of them.
Maybe,just maybe the OP has a sound explanation for his post.
Lets just wait for him to answer all your questions.
