What I find more disturbing are divers that are not conscious or caring about aquatic environments.

This discussion could go for years. Then there are maritime law issues that can fill volumes. Remember all the gold and silver coins that had to be repatriated back to Spain?

I wonder how many spareairs are now gathering dust in garages.

As everyone else said, "Dive, dive, dive....."!

I have taken hard candy on dives to suck on so that I don't get cotton mouth. Don't choke on it obviously.

It is fun to bash anything that is different than your own set up.

This thread can go on for more pages than the MOF thread. Reality is find something comfortable for you and appropriate for your diving conditions. I know that is a vague and useless comment, but is true. It is akin to asking what kind of car to buy.

Granted, but then you discovered your significant other was corruptible! I wish my daughter didn't have to leave to visit her mom so soon.

That episode was disturbing. All the kids including Carl were messed up by the walkers.

The little girl needs to die before she kills the baby

Humans are nothing special in the grand scheme of things. We are a lucky evolutionary accident. Because of our so called intelligence we developed an incredible capacity to destroy everything in a our wake with no regard to consequence.

You are wasting your breath DrBill, they are too stupid to understand basic biology or ecology and see the planet as theirs to sh*t on.

I am with DrBill, I find many of the attitudes expressed in this and other forums depressing. You would think that divers would be better environmental stewards but largely that is not the case. It is a typical case of "as long as I have mine".

Sounds like some people have a gross misunderstanding of how marine ecology works. Shark culling is a solution to a largely non existent problem. I suppose if we lived in water and we were constantly under attack in our homes by "man-eating sharks", there would be an issue. Reality is that...

Is dolphin meat even widely eaten in Japan?

When I hike in the woods, I don't try to bait the bears in, so why would it be a good idea to bait sharks on a dive?

All kidding and trolling aside, certification doesn't necessarily equate competence. The forum has myriad number of threads attesting to how bad "those other divers" are. Certification provides a starting point to assuage powers that be that people who dive have some measure of training.

Do any of you tend to feel that kid from "A Christmas Story?" when diving with a drysuit?
