Tormentos on Cozumel.
One year I had some deco on the dive because I went down to take a picture of a seahorse with a shorter NDL than I normally would like remaining and got bomb by another diver from another group. Knocked the mask off my face and camera out of my hands.
The following year, same site, same dive guide. Gives briefing and looks at me; "no deco"
"Roger that" Not as much as the year before but there was some.
The following year, same site, same guide. "You sitting this one out?" "Nope, but I promise no deco"
During the safety stop he asks how much time remaining on stop. I signal, deco 10, I only had 1 minute left.
Oh if looks could kill.

I seem cursed with dangers I'm diving with a group. Responding to OOGs, uncontrolled ascents, entanglements, injuries, sicknesses, gesr malfunctions and general malaise.

Something always goes missing or breaks. If not something of mine someone in the group has it happen to them. Could be major, but more often it's super minor, but it's there.
Poseidon tax is the only explaination

Whenever my group of buddies makes a weekend run to dive the great lakes and a certain diver comes along we can count on getting blown off one of the two days.

Hands down. Spiegel Grove. We have tried 3 times to dive this wreck and for one reason or another we haven't been able to dive the wreck.

Going below 100 feet.
Guaranteed to make someone in the group have a technical fault or have to turn the dive early due to air remaining. At least its usually always a buddy and not myself.

The Northerner wreck off of Port Washington (Lake Michigan). I've been blown off by weather, tore 2 of 3 drysuit seals gearing up, last time I dropped my scuba unit (100 cf hp steel tank) on my toe and broke it. The toe not the gear!
I did get one good dive on it last year but the ratio hasn't been good and it's a long drive to get there.
