well, all i do is just asking questions that i don't know/understand. and i don't think my questions can caused any harms. yeah, my english is not very good, with all my questions and languages, you called me a troll?

maybe i should stop posting here. maybe i don't belong here.

I'M SORRY FOR EVERYTHING.
THANK YOU

Just ignore anyone that is a self proclaimed solo diver with less that 24 dives. I have never read any of your other posts but you have a legitimate question. Some people vomit on their keyboard and don't have the sense to wipe it off.

No, NO, NOOOO.... Keep on posting.... The dark side is strong, my PADI-Wan learner....

Use the force.... And you'd be fine.... We love you, we want you to post... Be the few, the proud... Keep posting... Together, we'd fight the old geezers and the dark lords...
 
I guess all I can say is..............What the hell ever happened to PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY?
 
I make sure any instabuddy knows that I consider every dive with them a solo dive and if they are counting on me to save their butt for every little problem they need to buddy up with someone else. I have no problem diving solo and have the experience, training, gear, and mindset to be comfortable wherever I dive. If I feel I must have an instabuddy with unknown skills, training, and overall attitude regarding safety to make the dive, I'd rather thumb the dive.
 
What is your level of of cert.? OW , AOW,and even RESCUE DIVER hold NO liabilty for anyones safety but if liabity is your issue then I think your missing the whole point of BUDDY diving.
 
As long as there are lawyers, you can be sued anytime for anything.

If a lawyer thinks that they can make a buck, it doesn't matter who is right or who is wrong, you can get sued for anything.

Personal responsibility still exists - -a lawyer is personally responsible for making sure his pockets get full of cash.
 
Don't know about your buddy, but as far as an 'instabuddy' how can they when they're dead OR ,if they survive, they don't know your real name & address....That's why I go as John Doe on every dive......lol........

Must be resurrection day - here's my old buddy waiver (ok, watch the lunatics and junior lawyers get all insane now!)

WAIVER AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY, ASSUMPTION OF RISK AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT - DIVE BUDDY

I, _______________________________________ HEREBY DECLARE THAT I AM A CERTIFIED SCUBA DIVER, TRAINED IN SAFE DIVING PRACTICES, AND AM AWARE OF THE INHERENT HAZARDS OF SCUBA DIVING. I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I AM REQUESTING ________________________ (“RELEASEE”) TO BE MY “DIVE BUDDY” ON THE DATE SET FORTH BELOW.

Do you have a longer, unabridged version of this? I think it would be awesome to get assigned an instabuddy, and then hand them a 10-page release of liability. :rofl3:

Wish I did. I threw that together as a joke one day, and you should see the arguments it caused. The old thread is back there (looking backwards) somewhere...it was kind of funny, kind of not...anyway...
