...//...I still feel like crying. You know, I love scuba diving. But I'm not so crazy about scuba divers.

OK, so far I gave you offers for me to drive down to meet for lunch, a Belmar Basin dive that probably wouldn't hit 7 feet at high tide, and now a popular 60' training site. No courtesy of reply for any...

If you don't like divers, why do you continue to throw bait into the water? Just do what you want and stop trying to justify it to yourself.

I put you on "Ignore". Your world just got a tiny bit smaller and safer, -best I can do for you.

I'm heading out to Gilboa on the 17th of August. A lot closer than Coz or Florida. Will be some good people with me.

You have you admit, ignoring people is an important and useful social skill to help bring peace to your life But you do have to be adept at using it at the right time and in the right way to not create danger or unnecessarily piss people off.

I've never reported a post or put anyone on "Ignore" before.

-I have to admit, this one just feels right to me.

Some people would be shy about meeting up with somebody they don't know personally. Introverts, shy people (introvert & shy aren't the same thing), a variety of reasons, and probably wouldn't want to make a reply in order to avoid offending. I can't speak for someone else's motivations; I can speculate reasonably that probably no offense was intended and he may prefer to start his dives without all the baggage between him & a new dive buddy that a thread may carry over.

We've only heard Matt's side of the story. Based on his version of the Devil's Throat dive, I'd take it with a grain of salt.
Which is more likely? His buddy is trapped and drowning on the bottom, or as he told Matt, he saw him, used his noise maker only to see Matt go the wrong way. Knowing they needed to get back up-current to the boat, his buddy makes it, then informs the Captain that Matt went the wrong way. The Captain goes to the bow, spots Matt at the surface and asks repeatedly if he is OK. Matt refuses to answer. I believe I would rather dive with Matt's buddy.

What he said.

Yeah, but it's a quarry...

Hey lowviz, I tried to PM you about this thread, but I'm informed that you've exceeded your message storage quota and can't accept any new messages. Planning some housecleaning soon?
