Nah, more of the generalization of the yanks and the generalization of the Dutch having no real sense of humour to speak of. Both being equally redundant...

That’s interesting. My roommate in college was from the Netherlands. Since then I’ve maintained a contingent of Dutch friends. I’ve always enjoyed their humor and not considered them humorless. But I have had some German friends as well. So maybe my baseline is off. Obviously that generalization went over my head. My apologies. But regardless and back on topic, just trying to make a point that “ A Little Help from My Friends” might obviate the need for dive site construction. Cheers!Nah, more of the generalization of the yanks and the generalization of the Dutch having no real sense of humour to speak of. Both being equally redundant...

Salt Pier I think it was: we were walking in together trying to find our footing and that just pulls you apart unless you deliberately try to hold on to each other. And then you are far enough apart so you can't instantly help. And then we saw a couple "waltzing" out of the water and had a "d'uh!" moment.

I've used mine for a few years now at dive shops/house reefs, lots of unimproved sites, and in front of marine park personnel with no problems.. as long as they know it's not a spear.
Has something changed recently. I believe this is your quote from BT...
Canes are OK, according to STINAPA:

Are folding canes OK to help with shore entries and exits? They would be
stowed away during the dive.

Wife and I got in the habit of the waltz entry/exit where we faced each other and held each other’s forearm and shuffled sideways. Actually worked really well.
Yes, there are STINAPA rules and there is the STINAPA practice.
