My ex wanted me to carry HIS tanks.

I am sure it does occur but I haven't seen it. We make Tracy carry her own tanks and scooter. Now as far as hot girls in a bikini selling dive gear I personally prefer it. I had much rather have that than this.

Interesting thread!


There have been instances on land, with no gear around, when a male diver assumes he is more experienced than me and clearly articulates so. I usually just let them continue to ramble without correction because I don't really care what they think of me. <not that I am the most experienced, but like others have said, it's usually the less experienced people that feel the need to talk that way, and they were less experienced>


While diving, I cannot think of a single time where I felt I was the target of gender bias. I don't really get the "sweety" bit from strangers, can't imagine why that would be.


Target of well deserved "feedback" based on my shenanigans, not related to my gender, oh hell yes Target of "Ohhhh, you are the white girl who dives with Sam?" definitely!!

Funny about the water It doesn't care how old you are, what gender or even your level of experience.

I am surprised that in this day and age sexism is still a concern. yes in sales and marketing sex works. Short of being a gentleman (within reason, one kit one diver) I don't see sex as being a concern. heck I learn plenty off you lady diver types.

PS Sure lets have a calendar showing the "Real Men of Cave diving" might make a great charity thing
