Ha! That was great! I love reading your blogs! Seriously, though, I think you should cut Nathan a little slack. He's just trying to have a little fun...that's why the gals keep us around for, right? Our entertainment value...and someone to take out the trash and kill an occassional cockroach?

I am the bug killer in this house :11:
Now on the entertainment value, yes, its also why I spawned
I turned the dive around because I did not feel comfortable keeping up with two new divers. Ten minutes into the dive and I was breathing hard and fast and my heart was racing. I was so nervous that if I stopped watching either of you for even a second then something could go badly and it would be all my fault. So I would turn, twist, roll, trying to watch you both, navigate, lead, be a good example, forgetting to watch my own air, etc. It was simly beyond my comfort limit so I called it.
The rule is: Any Diver can call a dive at Any Time, for Any Reason. That's my reason and I'm sticking to it!
My lesson learned - I don't think DM/ Instructor will be in my future card collection. They have to watch too many divers at one time.
Dont be so hard on yourself, You did awesome hell I couldnt tell you were stressing so kudos to remaining calm. Looks like we BOTH are hard on ourselves, you did perfect and it was a awesome dive!
