10 signs your dive buddy hates you.

Post by Linedog »

• He gives you the "wait there" sign and you're still on the boat.
• The Coast Guard seems very interested in that bag of "talcum powder"
your buddy loaned to you for your wetsuit.
• She "forgets" to close your dry suit zipper.
• When you give him the out of air sign, he passes you his snorkel.
• When you indicate you are low on air, he writes on his slate "I'll get you
some" and swims off.
• In an air sharing situation, you reach for your buddy's octopus and a note
taped to it reads "out of order".
• In your photos from the shark diving excursion, your buddy is the one
holding the "tastes like chicken" sign with an arrow pointing at you.
• He writes, "I hate you" on his dive slate.
• You give him the OK sign and he gives you the finger.
• He spits on your mask for you, but you haven't taken it off yet.

He miss navigates at a dive site you have never done before, then looses you on purpose

Says "hey, i have a "new" shore dive site for us to go do!" When you pull into the parking lot at Richmond Beach state park on a 90 degree day, he tells you it's Boeing Creek Reef, and points over -----> "just a bit of a walk". When you waffle, he plays the "I thought you said you wanted to do 'new' dive sites?!" card on you...

true story, and that day I was SURE he hated me or at least I hated him after the first half hour of walking. I was sort of smart on the way back and saved enough gas to swim all the way back in 5' of water, which kept my regulator in my mouth long enough not say the things that came to mind. ;)

Depends on what you do with it! Stay on shore=not a bad thing. Go underwater with it=bad thing.

When you go pick him up for a day of diving, and his wife smiles at you instead of him?

When you get mixed up in the two groups you are diving with and when you surface your NEW buddy says " I dont make a good dive buddy" then proceeds to descend and take off to do his own thing........true story when I was a newer diver at EUP.

When you are visiting a new place and doing shore dives when you have done mainly boat dives with very few shore dives. The person who says: "Sure I'll dive with you.", watches with arms crossed while you get suited up and then swims off into the green gloom leaving you in the figurative dust. Then can't wait to get away from the dive site, again leaving you in the dust. Again a true story.

This is turning into an 'out your dive buddy' or a therapy thread.

We need a couch and a padded primal scream room.

Its only outing your dive buddy if you still dive with them. I would suspect bassman has a story or ten :smt064

When your dive buddy drives off after the dive without checking if you need an unzip from your drysuit :eek:

Every time you attach your crotch strap, your buddy yells "looks like there's plenty of room there!"

Only an "Out" if names are named. Otherwise, let the guilty reflect :eric:

Your buddy says: "See you on the bottom" and then drops a 5# weight on you.

Your buddy reverses your line markers.

Your buddy puts chum on your head during a shark feeding demo.
