BEST DIVE - WORST DIVE
Richard Walker
WORST: To me, the worst dive is the one that
doesn't happen. I usually find a way
to have fun on all of my dives, but you
can't do that if you don't even get into
the water. Weather consistently
hampers us in the UK, but my view is
that you just have to keep trying.
Equipment failures also have the
potential to finish a dive off before you
even get in the water, so I do try to make
sure that my gear is in good order, and
that I have spares to cope with the most
common failures. It's a real bind to get a
few hours out to sea and then find that
you can't dive because of a problem
that would be fixed in five minutes in a
dive shop. To think of a dive that I didn't
enjoy, I guess you have to consider what
makes a good dive. For the most part
you can say that comfort, competence
and confidence are all crucial. Take
away any of those, and you're dive is
considerably less fun. These are all fairly
tangible though and relate to equipment,
experience and training...
