I am skeptical about a close friend of mine and her diving experience.

She already is!

If she looks like this….she dives on the moon only at high tide…..she rode a megalodon out of the Mariana trench…on Nitrox….

Most of the claims you've mentioned should have documentation to back it up. If you need to see it to believe her I'd say your relationship might be a little unstable. Good luck with that. Adventure-Ocean

A ScubaBoard Staff Message...

OK, folks, the OP asked a question about the legitimacy of claims about scuba. That's it. Let's not get into the off color, off topic, and risqué banter that will get posts cut and the thread closed.

What 22 year old has there ever been that wasn't A) Full of BS B) a poor communicator. Could she have made hundreds, she could have been paid to make some of them. The rest could be BS. Question is: Do you care? she might be an adventurous soul and being a non diver, you totally misconstrued what she said, or she could be bat-sh*t crazy. It sounds like you are kind of expecting crazy. Still, crazy isn't necessarily bad.... :fruitcake::gorgeous::voodoo:

[Lost down under]

to summarise:

1) Female
2) You see something in her because your giving her the time of day
3) She's a diver of some kind
4) She's making stories up to impress YOU

Carry on dating her, make her feel comfortable, put her indiscretions behind you and hope for many more very real and preferably mutual ones. There is in all likelihood an easy explanation in that shes 22 and has been traveling she hasn't quite figured out the fine art that's involved in 'stretching' a CV and that's spilled rather horribly into her dating.

When all is said an done refer to points 1 through 3 with particular emphasis on 4 and consider:

5) Does it matter?

6) get certified to dive!!
