ken works to perpetuate the valley boy. he has the SoCal speak
down.
Californians are entertaining. I bet his groupies dive with him to be entertained...not that there is anything wrong with that!
No valley boy here, hon. I'm from the fashionable westside, thank you very much.
They dive with me for the same reason you would if you were here:
1) I am an excellent driver, despite your insistance to the contrary
2) I know where the best food is, can pair it with the best wine, and love a good post-dive grind. We'll leave the food courts and strip malls and chain restaurants to the kiddies, and we'll go dine like adults.
3) I'm very low maintenance. Dive with me, and the only drama on the dive is the drama you bring.
4) I'm funny. You are guaranteed 2.7 mask floods for every 3000 PSI. Dive doubles with me at your own risk.
5) I always got your back. You will be safe in the water with me - so you can relax and have more fun on every dive we do together.
6) You have stuff I can learn. I haven't seen it all, haven't done it all and am always open to learning new stuff and diving new places.
7) I will bring out the best in you. Phone in the dive and I will ratchet it up until you re-engage. I will insist you bring out the best in me. It needs to be interesting for both of us.
8) I nap like I mean it.
9) Fun is my middle name. I caught hell as a kid for that, and I still get stares when the hotties card me and see it on my license, but its true. Fun is my middle name.
10) I am available 6 days a 7 nights a week to dive. When you're ready, I'm there. I am prompt, fast into the water, not an airhog, I'm freakishly strong, fit, can do 6 dives a day without blinking and I have an 18W buddy light just for you. I rule....
For the rest, you'd have to ask Dette. We do hundreds of dives together every year. She knows my diving better than anyone else - even better than I do.
