Not wishing to hijack this thread as I feel there has been plenty of input as to the type of mask to use, but what the heck do you people think a buddy is for! We have one poster saying that they can hold your dive light and be there at your beck and call and another who says their DB is 3ft back and above all the time as if they were an obedient pet! I personally don't believe in the buddy system but that is my decision after 35 years of diving and almost 7000 dives but if I do take a buddy or team up with another diver for any reason I expect them to enjoy the dive and lead as much as they follow. New divers should be shown how to dive safely and confidently and this is achieved thru diving as a team not as a photographer and slave!
Sorry again for hijacking but this is a pet peve of mine and I felt that I should say something!
