When checking out a buddy, their ability to carry out the dive is of paramount importance. I agree with you that I would not refuse to dive with someone who is overweight. I can't stand people I don't like (oxymoron?), I don't dive with them once I determine who they are..Northeastwrecks once bubbled...
Its a matter of degree.
I check out my potential dive buddies carefully. Physical ability to carry out the dive is one of the factors I consider.
I would not refuse to dive with someone simply because they were overweight. However, if they could not handle their gear or appeared to have other issues that were caused by the weight that would jeopardize the dive, then I'd call the dive.
Incidentally, I would do the same if it turned out that they had a bad attitude, exhibited poor buddy skills or were otherwise unacceptable.
