The Chairman
Chairman of the Board
You know... while I might point out a safety issue to a diver. I would be discrete and NOT do it in front of a crowd. Under no circumstances would I be confrontational in a dive setting. Humor has it's place (check out some of my posts in the Diver's parodies continued), but sarcasm towards another diver usually only makes them want to "prove you wrong". Instead of altering poor behavior we actually reinforce it. While we may believe most emphatically that others are doing it wrong, we need to take measure of how our message comes across. To paraphrase a biblical passage... "Let whoever dives perfectly, cast the first spear." I guess my point is... you don't have to be mean to make a difference (or a point).
