Dive Boat Etiquette
As a nice counter-balance to my previous rant blasting things about dive boats that drive me crazy, I found a tidy little how-to concerning dive boat etiquette. While most experienced divers should know all of these unwritten rules, I believe that it's most often experienced divers who break the rules. Among the etiquette points I found most valuable were:
Arrive early, so you don't make everyone else late. Bring onboard only what you need. Listen to the dive briefing. Store items in their proper places. "Don't dunk masks in the camera rinse tank."The article also states, "Don't try to walk in your fins... Carry both fins in one hand so the other is free to hang on." I found that interesting, because many boats prefer that you put on your fins at your seat and then do the Dive Boat Shuffle to the stern to perform your giant stride.
