I don't usually chime in on things like this, but I have an opinion on this one, as it seems many others do as well. If I'm down having a good time and all is well and someone comes up to me and my buddy and is emphatically thumbing the dive I'm going up with them. I don't know what is going on, on the surface with someone else on the boat, or the boat itself. If I get to the top and they want to go because their wife or husband is sea sick and REALLY wants to go in, well they owe me a refund, even if I don't get it they will hear about it all the way back and for as long and as loud as I can. BUT what if???? someone was hurt BAD and the boat needed to leave NOW, or the weather had just had a violent unexpected shift we we all needed to get out of doge NOW, or any other potential fatal incident had happened that I was unaware of, I would really hate to be the jack wagon that wouldn't come up and got left at sea, or caused the death or more serious injury to another person. DM thumbs the dive.... GET TO THE TOP and figure it out there. IF it was a BS call ask for your money back, trash them on the internet, or never go back. But as has been said before in this thread, if the DM thumbs it he probably knows something I don't and I follow him.
PS. I don't have that many SCUBA dives, but I have about 2,000 Skydives and have told many of jumpers they were not getting out of the plane and to sit down and buckle up. They usually thanked me when we landed with the plane.
