I find when diving with someone I don't know it's important to review the lost buddy routine, as it also tells him you expect to stay together.

Saspotato, are you certain this is a troll?
LMAO I defended the Insta-Buddy and im the bad guy but then sometimes I forget I dive for a living not for a vacation. I like this board its entertaining to say the least. the dive could have went like this and be posted somewhere else by the Insta-buddy
(insta-buddy)
I was on vacation last week and I got stuck with this newbie. The boat cap would not let me go solo and I was tired of baby sitting. the guy was a pretty good diver and i could see he wouldnt hurt himself so I ditched him and enjoyed my last dive of the trip.
Not the right thing to do but he is not here to defend himself. The Op could be right but some of you are only proping up the OP. If the OP was truly concerned that some peril had come to insta-buddy then a search and rescue should have begun way before 20 mins have passed.
The title to the thread is I knew it would happen. I would have found that guy before I let him stay underwater by himself for over 20 mins If i was concerned for his well being.
I have certified over 500 divers and have never lost one yet. I don't teach just anyone I don't have to. If I don't think you'll be a good diver I pass. I get paid to dive so mabey I see it in a different light.
I will continue to dive and i enjoy teaching scuba. if you ever get to dive with one of my students
You can be assured that they will be able to take care of you and themselves.
I don't certify divers that would not be a good dive buddy to my son.
YAY!!! Yes you Can!Well done.At what point is it OK to call someone a moron on SB and not get that comment removed by the mods? Can you ever call someone a self-centered a$$hole?
:cringe:
Perhaps I should translate for scubaflier:
Ihf yew dohnt tehl yur budee that yu gunnu dich them they miet spend dyve tyme lookin fer your assets. Dohnt be rohd.
I know, right?Hi Scubaflier,
I just want you to know that I'm not a religious man, but before I go to bed tonight I am going to get down on my knees and thank God you are not claiming to be a PADI instructor. DCBC would just never let me live it down!
No you didn't. You came on, acted like a jerk, continued to do it, and now crybaby about it? Please. You apparantly don't dive with anyone. And that's a good thing. I am fine with solo diving. I do it all the time. I NEVER, however, buddy with a diver and then screw them over. You do.What a joke I come on for entertainment I know that this is a place for wannabes and every time
you confirm my opinion of the clowns that are on here. it is entertaining. I dive and I dont dive with clowns and wannabes.
Wow how could someone get on a boat without a dive buddy and then when given a buddy that apparently could care less about diving with them get on Scuba board and whine about losing that buddy. You want to point out that the Insta-buddy did not adhere to training. what about you where was your responsibility in this dive. what was your plan. plan your dive dive your plan.
PADI, NAUI,SSI TDI,NSS,ect and ect. this is a building block of all agency standards. yet you Whine that the other guy was wrong. Why did you go without a buddy? If no one wants to go with you self examination is in order. If now one had time to go with you your in to much of a hurry. Insta buddys are divers to or they would not be there diving. I got hooked up with a guy from spain on a live aboard that started drinking at noon and still made 3 more dives a day. He is a diver and i am a diver. he is still alive im still alive.
If diving is to much for you and you hve got to have someone hold your hand Quit
no one will think less of you.
