Why males only?

For this dissertation I need male scuba divers who do extreme/risky/challenging dives to fill out an online questionnaire. Unfortunately there are not many divers fitting this description,

I wonder why? Someone should do a study on that.

Seriously though I've done "extreme" dives by diving when the water was so cold the top 3" was ice slush. I've done "risky" dives every time I put the reg/DSV in my mouth. I've done "challenging" dives because I could never bring myself to get a p-valve

Need a better definition of what you're looking for I'd say

I clicked the link and the front, registration page didn't say you have to be male. I 'spose I could pretend to be a man and take the survey.

[Sludge]

Why not, I pretend to be a man every day.

I always felt the drive on I-75 was risky and extreme.

Ya'll should have come to the Workshop and listened to Bill O's talk. My take away (corporate speak, see other thread), was that there is nothing to find. He said about all he could say was that cave divers were night people. So he took an audience vote. About 3:1 morning people.

I started it, but stopped. It seems to be geared towards 'thrill seeking' and finding a 'rush'. This to me seems already slanted and any answers will be geared towards those on-set premises. I disagree with that.

Nice effort though.
