Zenshift:The irony is in the people that post 5 paragraphs defending how intense they are about diving and why their "system" rocks are only identifying themselves as part of the group that he is talking about.
The people he is talking about do not exist other than in myth and legend. Here on Scubaboard, there are only 3 types of posters. Divers, cyberdivers, and wannabe divers.
Zenshift:I have been in the military and law enforcement..
Would never have guessed.
Zenshift:I think he was defending his industry that takes in all divers to explore their underwater world. He watches for those that need a lot of help, gives credit to those that don't, and really watches for those that think that because they know what a wing and backplate are, they don't need help ... cause those are the ones that really can cause harm. Again, if you pose, you're not authentic.
A backplate and wing do not make a good diver. And a jacket BC, split fins, and a snorkel do not make a poor one. Like any sport, understanding, talent, and practice make a good diver. Unfortunately, most divers refuse to practice, and most are pretty short on talent from what I've seen. However, I am unsure what "harm" is being caused by those who choose to dive in a BP/W config.
As for being a poser, if the shoe fits...
Zenshift:An old zen saying: Those that don't know of "it", speak and those that do know of "it" do not say.
Are you a zen buddhist? Or are you a poser?
