A list of things I hate, By JamesK
I hate DM's and crew who try to set up your gear, even after you tell them that you will do it yourself. Leave my gear alone!
I hate DM's who look at your gear, and ask why you have such a long hose. When you tell them it is simply genetics, they don't get it. Then when you try to be serious and explain it to them. They say, oh, I dive all tech gear myself. Then you look at their gear to see a total of 7 knives attached everywhere imaginable, a console that is on a 36" hose and hangin WAY behind them, and the freediving fins!
I hate guided dives. I dive because I like to relax, not play follow the leader behind a bunch of Troy Bilts.
I hate DM's who tell you that you are not streamlined because your knees are bent as you are hovering horizontal over a reef checking out something. Sorry, but I am streamlined, and it is called a modified frog kick, Jack**s! Unlike his rig where you have to watch your back because some horny Giant Squid is going to see your console and Octo flapping in the current and think you are a brightly colored mate.
I hate when I see people who are supposed to be Advanced divers, tearing up a reef.
I hate when I go into a cave, and the team before me decided to leave some nice fin and hand prints in the clay floor and make vis drop.
I hate when I go into a dive shop, and ask the employee for a 7 foot hose and spring straps, and they tell me their is no such thing.
