what to do when..

[adam0321]

So i never really learned this one. what do you do when you are diving solo and you cant seem to stop running into a intro class with three studs. then on the way they grap you thinking its there lost instructor?

[Dsix36]

Play dead and really freak them out?

[Line Squirrel]

Hmmmm, interesting dilemma. If you're being pestered by other divers, are you really solo diving? I mean, sure their not you're "buddy(ies)" but would you refuse their assistance if needed?

I liked Dsix's response...I tried that many, many times. But the ONE time it actually worked.....they were not amused. I was, but they weren't.

I plastered myself to the celing when there instructor was right at the start of double line. (JB) the came up and grabbed my fin. I took there hands and put it on my dry suit. the instructor was wearing a wet suit. and I had a stage on me. to make matters worse they did and out of air drill that took so long I was ready to go down ad give the instructor my reg but then he ripped it out of there mouths

Signal a lights out drill then turn off your light. When they turn out thier lights sneak away.

Clearly they're in training and having issues. I think the clear answer here is you help however you can to calm them down. We were all new once.

some people have clearly forgotten this

Great response. One that suggests you are really starting to mature as a diver.
