Why do you lurk ? Why not post and tell us about your diving?

Most of the time I just don't have anything to say/add to the discussion. Someone wise once said "It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt". Since this board has a low tolerance for individuals outside the norm...

Doc has most definitely never heard that one before.

Hmmmm...exact opposite of my quote...

... I think in some ways most of us are outside the norm ... "normal" is way overrated anyway ...

i don't find NWDC to be that different than most other sites on the internet. in fact, it's better than many because a lot of us know each other.

i have asked and said plenty of things on this site that may have been considered foolish or at the very least naive. but as a result, i learned a lot, met a large group of divers who helped and taught me, and who i now happily call friends.

nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Dove the EUP park on Sunday, 1.5 hour dive, never made it pass 30', came back with over 1500 psi in a HP80 because I had to pee. BTW, the tubesnouts are breeding.

WARNING: Sarcasm to follow

But I am a horrible diver and will probably die eventually because, I didn't calculate my SAC rate, use the rule of thirds, or have a pony bottle, and once my buddy was 10 feet away at the edge of the vis.

END of Sarcasm

That's why

Huh? This is the most wonderfully abnormal community I've ever met! And I say that with sincerity. Normal is uninteresting. Normal never does anything exciting or memorable. Normal never makes you question what you think you know. I have very little interest in normal. This place on the other hand is fantastic.

Well, I'm totaly NOT going to die because all MY gear is black and I have a long hose thingy.

Hey see ... we have a lot in common. I once did a dive at EUP with Josh ... the rebreather guy. And both of us didn't die, despite the fact that I had a long hose and he had one of those silly corrugated things with hoses sticking out both sides. Somebody asked me what I'd do if one of us had an OOA emergency. I told 'em we'd stand up.

Dude, we're like a PEMCO commercial for divers ...

Some of the people on here are far, far weirder than you might think. I understand what you mean, though. Just sorry you feel that way.

I lurk becuase the pain of signing-in is unbearable when certain "DUDES" don't return PM's and just leave me broken hearted.

That I'm too busy playing with my really 'old' stuff that will kill me.....

Awesome...been deep with it yet?
