So, yeah, no, thanks for the suggestion but just no.

Sounds to me like a dive op that decided they want to have an online presence. They and a couple of folks from their shop sign on. They post some on scuba board to generate some interest. Something I have seen from several of our regular posters. They run a shop/instruction business and post a lot. Clearly it is advertising but in a positive way and adds to the board.

I agree. If they start a thread that leads to some good discussion, then it is a benefit to SB users.

In this case, the OP has outlined what works for them, in their area. Chances are, in their area, there is a lot of boat traffic, and several of the recommendations make reasonable sense, in the context of the OP's post: 'procedures that will keep you safe from passing watercraft'.

As you point out, we are in a very different situation along the mid-Atlantic coast (and elsewhere, based on some of the other responses). We generally don't have DMs in the water, there generally aren't a lot of other boats transiting the immediate area (and other boats moored to a particular wreck generally understand the safe way to maneuver, with divers in the water), and divers are responsible for their own safety.

Posting a lot? Sure. Look at devondiver, no worries there. Same for Cerich and others, they post a lot of stuff, usually interesting, and not every other word is a link to their own site.
Posting stuff only to generate traffic? All their posts link to their own sites. It's so obvious there's no interest whatsoever in "starting a conversation" that it makes me sad...

Safe ascension...to a higher plane of existence, no doubt.

We used to frequently dive off a private beach owned by a great restaurant. Sometimes good bugs, sometimes good fish, sometimes a bit of wreck, always a nice beach to hang out on and a great bar to catch brunch or whatever after the dive.

Except, small powerboats also often came up on the beach. And then, sailboards happened. And then, just about when we'd gotten used to surfacing paranoid style and thought we'd seen everything...one day a (*&Y@!#$ SEAPLANE is coming in for a landing. They didn't cover that in dive training.

Safe ascension, y'all.

That is also exactly how the boats are here in Southern California. Unless you hire your own DM you are expected to be a competent diver.

But you cant do that in Bali bro
