Which is correct??

[seaducer]

It's actually Divermaster if you are a hot Brazillian super model...

 

[tstormdiver]

I always refer to it as Divemaster .... one word. Calling us Dive Master is kind of a pet peeve of mine.

Ooh! now I know how to irritate you on the KPP! (Not that I would ever do anything like that) I guess I'll just stick to my Dive Con:14:.

 

[Tanked]

I prefer just to be called "Master"

 

[jeraldjcook]

Is there a third option?

Why is "tank monkey" not an option?

... and what's with this Dive Con thing? What's with that? Who are you conning?

The 3rd option is - I don't care. Dive Con is SSI.

When I started the course my instructor corrected me to Dive Slave.

After humping hundreds of tanks and tons of gear to the lake I stopped wondering why did he said that...

You know what? I dunno..... I haven't figured that one out yet.

We have opted to use Divemaster in our new materials for Scuba Diving International (SDI) and Technical Diving International (TDI).

There's some precedent covering the progression of compound words from being two words such as dive master through a hyphenated stage -- dive-master -- to a single compound word.

I didn't know until recently that Dive Con was SSI's version of divemaster. I don't think the general diving population looks at them at equals.
