Ok, I am in my complaing mood.....

I love diving, so much that I created this website and so many others...

and more than diving I love teaching. I'm not a great swimmer but I became a swimming teacher after becoming a diving instructor. The reason? I love to teach, te share with people...

but today, I had one of that days that you may wonder: who came with the idea that diving is for EVERY SINGLE PERSON.

So this is the story: I get 2 customers for Discover Scuba Diving - a "course" that I hate because it is 100% unsafe, with no clear theory, skills, etc...

anyway. the problem: (gosh, this is going to sad like if I am a b**tard, but I'm not....) the 2 female divers a HUGE. By all means HUGE. So I decide to provide them with the largest wetsuit we have in the house. A XXXLLLLLLLLXXXXLXXLXLXLX MEN size.

Surprise, surprise, the thing doesn't fit.

So thinking that the water is 15 degrees, i can go with these ladies diving naked, so I have to put them with a 1 mil rash-wetsuite that we have for surfing...

the picture is bad, they are going to freeze.... and not only that after a quick session in the pool they have so much weight in the BCD that they can't walk.

Why in their BCD and not in their Belt? Well... we don't have any belt long enough.

The whole dive was horrible.

I have done over 100 of this "resort dives" but this wins the OSCAR.

Crap. Really crap.

The oldest lady with 30 pounds of weight (yep 30) didn't go down... while the other diver in an amazing action managed to brake her 2 fins straps in less that 1 minute.

At the end of the day my mood coudn't be better....

So I wonder if sometimes is better to say people: Sorry but I don't think diving is for you????

Sometimes fitness should be first. But may be I'm wrong....

** By the way, don't you love when they tell you: yes I know to swim but the last time I swam was when I was 8 years old in the pool of my dad? - I heard that today from my 56 year old customer.

Anyway, tomorrow a new day.
