My wife has NO interest in becoming a diver, but she'll watch the ocean shows with me and she likes to snorkel. What is the deal with spouses or girlfriend/boyfriends that have no interest in diving? I'm one to try most anything once... but not MY wife!

What to do... What to do!?

If you want your wife to dive - tell her that it's probably best she doesn't because it's kind of a guy thing, she probably couldn't handle it, and you like your time hanging with the guys...

<DIV>She'll buy gear and sign up for a class tomorrow! </DIV>

Maybe you should tell her that you don't want her to dive, or better yet that you won't allow it. I bet she'll be signed up for an OW course this weekend. [img]smileys/smiley36.gif[/img]

Be supportive, tell her that it's ok and that you totally understand
her position. Then talk about how your next wife will probably really
enjoy scuba and how you're so happy you don't have to watch movies like
Brokeback Mountain with her anymore. I just showed my wife the pink Bio
Fins and she was in! Sorry, not trying to rub it in.[img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img]

My girlfriend is a little weird. Just like my wife, they don't care to dive but, they'll snorkel their (__Y__)'s off!

Frank, tell my girlfriend I said goodnight.

I initially tried diving because 3rdEye was interested in it (always thought I'd be scared, even though I love the water and spent a lot of my childhood in it). It only took one vacation for me to become obsessed. lol

I've been trying for years to get him to ski, hopefully this year it will happen [img]smileys/smiley24.gif[/img].
