This wouldn't be a troll for your website, would it?

Nice artwork.

I think she should make that decision.

I am a NAUI certified Master and Rescue diver. I finally got my girlfriend
to take a course in getting certified. When she takes her open water dive
tests, should I be in the water with her? Will my presence make her feel
more secure or the opposite, more anxious?

Stay away. I would be surprised if the instructor would let you in
anyway. If they did I would find another instructor.

Good advice. Let them do their thing, and then go diving.

Master divers always make be feel anxious, until I remember that there
may be an extra lunch.

Is your girlfriend pretty?

Because she's not the master diver.

Regardless, I would think that she would be a better person to ask as to
whether his presence would make her feel anxious or not during the class.


It seems to point to a communications problem that will only get worse as
time goes on.

Well, that's OK, if she's pretty.

We're at sea, they fight, break up, she needs comforting, and a new
dive buddy...

Yes, that could work right out.

Clint if you can take photos of her and post them in this news group of your
grilfriend in the water and if she is a fox then I would say that It would
make her feel best to get in the water with her and stay there the whole
time, and make sure to get as many shots as possible for us. Otherwise go
fishing or something.
