You meet the coolest people diving!!!

It seems to me that diving attracts one of the most diverse groups of people together that I have encountered. The Divemaster on the Princess Crown was a retired RAF flight engineer that all he does is dive or work for Princess. I dove with a group of dentists from Missouri who make the trip every year. Some of my dive buddies have been pretty interesting anywhere from a Psychiatrist to an Iraq vet. You also seem to meet the nicest people.

I agree! One of the reasons I love to dive is the people we meet! In fact, we have kept in touch with one cool couple we met in Cozumel in 2005 and have taken a second trip together and have planned our third
(you know who you are)

I've often commented on that, too!

I met a guy on a dive boat last year in Cozumel. He's a "tire guy" from a northern US state. If you read this, I've often wondered about you, your wife and your daughter and offered up a prayer.

Cheers!

Ian

Divers are just cool...I don't know if we were all cool before, or if diving makes us cool...but we rock...

I dove with a RAF pilot who drove an Avro Vulcan. The plane that had the splashed off Bermuda in Thunderball. In fact, I got to dive the area used in fliming Thunderball too.

I can't say I've never met a "Turkey Diver", but I will say that they are definitely in a very exclusive minority. I have had very few complaints about those I've dove with.

And...I'm looking forward to diving with folks from Scuba Toys too.

Have to agree, i havent met a bad diver yet. They have always been very helpfull (all the older experinced divers) to me being a pretty new diver. I met this one lady who speaks and teaches in sign and teaches deaf childeren to dive and because they talk way too much underwater she puts the bare 3 finger mitts on them.

It seems I do most of my diving with fellow Emergency Services people. Not that I am not willing to dive with others. I am looking forward to diving with Scubatoys divers as well.
