My husband is an experienced diver and I am newly certified. We have already taken a couple of dive trips and he is a great dive buddy. Really takes good care of me and finds alot of neat stuff to look at.
He is a free spirit you see and when he dives he is the one sticking his head in everything to see whats in there. Before I was a diver and would come along on the boat, I could always tell where he was because his was the set of bubbles away from everyone else.
I, on the other hand am a stickler for the rules. When the dive guide says "everyone stick together" I figure it's law and we should all stick together.
When we are diving along the coral it makes me a bit nervous losing track of the rest of the dive group because I don't like breaking the rules. But I am OK with it because I trust his skill, feel safe, and I really enjoy my time with him. I also realize that I see more when we slow down and look at the details.
My problem really comes in when we dive a shipwreck. He is going in rooms and sticking his head in holes that our guide is not taking us too. These are wrecks that he has never dove before so he does not have any experience diving them. To me, this is like cave diving without a lifeline to show you the way out. I think we could both get lost in there and never come out. On the other hand, if something happened to him in there and I had followed the rest of the group out already, he would be in real trouble.
I guess the real question I have is what chioce should I make.
Die with him and leave our kids without parents?
Or let him die alone and tell the kids what a great dad they had?
