Hi! I'm preparing to go to Malaysia and Singapore next year. As such, I've gotten interested in different aspects of international diving for the solo traveler. For my DM certification, I want to do a presentation of skills related to building trust with your (insta-) dive buddy, operator, and fellow tourists.
I've started wondering about the question of language. Has anyone been paired with a dive buddy who spoke a foreign language? or who spoke or understood your language poorly?
Also, any other ideas for my presentation would be great. It's mostly about anxiety, diving with inexperienced divers, communicating with everyone on the boat, using Scubaboard to find buddies before hand, pre during and post dive chats, and signaling.
