I finally figured out the difference between a good boat divemaster and a GREAT divemaster....well maybe not great...but definatly devoted.
Me and a buddy were out on a private spearfishing charter today. We found a spot that was marking a lot of activity on a small wreck at 110 ft; so the DM did a drop to try to tie in. After about 45 mintues we started getting a little worried about the guy, considering a normal tie-it takes about 10 mintutes TOPS from boat to ladder. Eventually he comes back up and told his story... Apparently he got carried a little bit off the wreck due to surface current and when he got to the bottom the vis was only about 5 foot so he had no idea where the wreck was at, but there was a ton of fish around. So anway, he ended up spending so long looking for a tie in point that he went into deco and had to do a 15 deco stop!!!!!!!!!!
Now that some serious service! going into deco on a tie-in so your customers can get a good drop and score some decent fish is above the call off duty! That beats putting my fins on ANY day!
Anyone else have any stories about DM's that exceeded the call of duty?!?
