The term BUDDY should be PARTNER

[Mike Newman]

Try thinking of 'buddy' in the positive context of diving and leave the association with any other connotations behind. It's been around a while and I don't think you'll find much enthusiasm - or support - for change...

Tonka,
Is just the phonetic sound of BUDDY you don't like?
Your #2 definition of BUDDY is Partner! Same connotation.

Fo shizzle!

This post is rediculous. Call it whatever you want it. Your buddy/partner/mate/life long companion can't hear anything underwater anyway, so as they're swimming in the wrong direction not paying attention to you, they can't hear you say all the horrible things you are trying to. I call it a teammate, but that's just me, I could care less what everyone else says.
