Who's your favorite diving buddy?

[medic001918]

So it seems that with the buddy system being so prevelant in diving, we all probably have that favorite buddy that we dive with. You know, the one that you know isn't going to do anything they shouldn't to get you or themselves hurt. Or the one you really get along with. Maybe it's someone that might not be the best diver, but you really enjoy spending time with them.

<DIV>My favorite buddy is my fiance. She's just got her OW cert and is very new to diving. But it's something that her and I can do together and enjoy. So far, she's been really passionate about it and the training. She's already planning some dive vacations and what other classes we can take together. Even helping her study for her OW class was something that we were able to do together. We have a quarry that's local to us that is a dive park, so we'll be able to squeeze in extra dives (and time together) before or after work. It's been fun to see her progress as a diver, and will continue to be fun to watch her progress and become more comfortable with diving in the future.</DIV>

I wish I had a dive buddy! My SO doesn't dive so I end up doing the insta-buddy thing any time we're on vacation. I have two friends who dive locally and they graciously allow me to triple up with them when we go to the local quarry.

My favorite dive buddy is my dive buddy.

it will be my brother... once he has time to get certified.
(he's currently only my snorkeling buddy... but not for long)

That would definitely be my wife. Some of the best experiences I've had underwater were with her holding my hand on drift dives.
