The Diving Site

I have come across many people who dealt with this dilemma. As scuba diving is one of those activities that demand a lot of time and money, a keen enthusiast is going to devote his/her holidays and spare time to this pursuit. To a non-diver, a diver's commitments to his/her sport may seem odd or obsessive.

Put straight, a non-diver just doesn't get it. Why would someone spend their weekends going to a quarry or mudflat to get cold and risk an ear infection? Then there are the vacations, dishing out for over-weight airline luggage and scheduling all your activities around diving.

The question for the non-diving partner: Should you get into the sport to have common ground with your diving partner?

Love means never having to say "I'd rather go to the mountains this year"

A scenario I've seen a lot of these during my time involves a person signing on to an Open Water course with the "encouragement" of a partner. Sad to say, a majority of these are women. The student is unenthusiastic from the beginning. S/he just goes through the most basic requirements of the course and can't wait for the training day to end. S/he won't dive much after certification.

Another common scenario (and again, typically a woman): a partner in a relationship wishes to dive because his/her partner is a keen diver. The living vicariously principle is at work here. S/he may not really have thought of what scuba diving entails but is convinced that it'll be wonderful spending weekends or holidays together.

Yes it's nice to have a common interest but is it really your thing? This is worth asking because scuba diving can require commitments on funds and time and have a bearing on holiday choices (and even have a bearing on where to live for the most dedicated).

Do you love the pastime or the person?

Camilla was a twenty-something woman, highly educated. While taking a year-long break from her career doing volunteer work in Central America, she met Mark, a man who had made his career as a diving instructor and business owner. Naturally, his world revolved around scuba diving and Camilla wanted to get into this world. She learned to dive and her relationship with Mark flourished. Six months later, Camilla and Mark bought a small resort where she was consigned to working the shop accounts. She became disillusioned quickly and less than a year after opening the shop, demanded out.

There are happy accounts. Ron was indifferent after his girlfriend Jade learned to dive while vacationing with her mother. She really got into diving and was spending many Saturdays visiting the stone quarry near their home in England. To Ron, this sounded a complete waste of time and money until he saw a TV documentary on wreck diving in Micronesia. Two weeks later, he was certified and was looking forward to their first dive holiday together. Few years later, they are married and spend their holidays diving all over the world.

Ron got into diving because he was besotted with the idea of diving NOT because he was besotted by his partner. Lucky for him now, his partner shares his pastime.

Just DO IT but do it for the right reasons

Think about it hard if you're thinking of taking up diving. Is it YOUR initiative, your interest? And this applies to many other activities, not just scuba diving.

As for divers, do you really want a reluctant dive buddy? Do you think your partner is going to like a pastime just because you do? Like any activity, the enthusiasts often suffer from tunnel vision. Really, some things and some people are best left at home.
