OK People,
This particular little thread ends here and now please. This is not what YD is all about and if Stef and Frog Princess want to dive with each other (or anything else for that matter) then that's their call.
I think we've estabished that Stef has difficulty being civil in most cases and sees cynicism as her only option (sad but true); she poo-poo's other divers that don't meet her 'exacting standards' vis-à-vis diving (when it truth, none of us has met her or can comment on her diving capabilities, she may even be God's own Uber-muppet when it comes down to it, we simply can't comment and will have to take both her and Frog Princess's words for it!); has a track record (whether Frog Princess chooses to acknowledge this as fact or remain in her cosy realm of self-delusion or not is again her own call) of coming on here to spread descent and make personal comments about divers with whom she's never met, let alone dived.
YD is a mixed bag of approaches for ALL divers of ALL training agencies - not just the 'Deep-Diving-at-Dotty' brigade. If the latter want to do that, then go ahead and fill yer collective boots. There is room on YD, me thinks, for all divers in this passtime of ours - and no ONE approach or practise (as long as it's safe and planned) is gonna suit every diver on these boards. Quad Erat Demonstrandum.
Any way, the two girls have settled the bar room debate at least. Whether they get wet reading 'DiveGirl' magazine or can piss up a wall can be left to their own proclivity and mores.
They quite obviously have different aspirations in diving than some of the folks on this board - and that's fine and groovy: whether that ranges from Stef's O2-clean armchair or Frog Princess's over-riding sense of loyalty to a 'Sister Diss'd' - enjoy your diving girls, be safe in it.....but leave your personal issues off YD and don't try and make out that 'we started it', it won't wash I'm afraid.
And after all that's been said here, the offer/invite still stands - please get yourselves on a dive with us any where we dive; as contrary to FP's assersion, we do dive regularly all over the place, most weekends or every other weekend and quite often there is a mid-week dip on offer to boot, and all either inland, sea, shore, hard-boat etc. If either of you got invloved a bit more instead of sniping, you'd know that. Like I said, the offer stil stands. We await your pleasure........
Dive safe all - always,
