      Yeah. The only way that makes sense is military.

      That would be easy access to all 7 oceans.

      And then 21 dives means 21 civilian dives. Because they cant talk about the work stuff.

      Lol lots of divers don’t even start getting comfortable controlling their buoyancy until 30 or 40 dives in.

          My wife and I are divers, we have around 20 dives each. I asked her if she “feels comfortable controlling her boyency” yet. She gave me an “ehhh” while shrugging and said she has the “hang of it” but wouldn’t go as far as comfortable. I agree and basically feel the same way.

          Some divers are really smooth with how they swim and float around, we kinda just bumble around compared to them and try not to stand on any coral.

          Yes. I have worked professionally in recreational diving as a certified divemaster, and have logged hundreds of dives. I don’t even mean to put down the person in the article - I truly believe someone can be an avid diver even after their first dive. The way the entire sentence was worded made it sound pretty funny though, as if they were trying to impress with experience. At 21 dives, you’re likely the one the divemaster is going to stick close to, and there’s lots of things they’re not going to take you close to.

            For real. If I dive somewhere new and my assigned buddy gives me the “avid diver with 21 dives”, I’m going to assume he’s a fucking idiot.

            Yeah and they’re probably just a vacation diver if they’re serious about diving in different oceans. Diving with a different set of equipment each time means you never get used to trimming out. Half the people on charters don’t even know how much weight to take.

          Fun fact, the term “7 seas” has never referred to any specific list of seas and is older than knowledge of the Pacific/Indian oceans by western cultures

            I always imagine the Roman’s got confused by all the different names for all the bits of the Mediterranean, such as the Ionian Sea and the Aegean abd the Adriatic and the Thyrrenean and just went: All of them. All seven or whatever. Yeah seven sounds nice. Now stop bothering me about the bay of whatever.

              Because there are over 50 seas?
              But more colloquially, the 7 seas are generally taken to be 7 different regions of the 5 oceans (seeing as most people recognise the southern ocean as the 5th of the traditionally 4 oceans).

              I know you are trolling and sealioning or JAQing off.
              But, for such established facts, you can Google these things yourself.
              And even if you don’t trust most of the sources, the majority will confirm there are not 7 seas.

                You can call me a dumbass all you want. Doesn’t change the real facts. You and your hobby hurt the environment. There is 0 environmental benefit from you polluting the seven seas. Call me a sea lion. Hope the next time you see a dead one you think about what I said.

                  Well, I didn’t call you a dumbass.
                  I know you are new here. Maybe you are used to Reddit. I find a lot more of the discussions here are done in good faith.

                  I definitely hurt the environment. It’s, unfortunately, what humans do. I try not to, but it seems just existing requires it to some extent.

                  Also, I’m not a diver.
                  I dropped in to this discussion, saw you asking for a source, so I provided easily google-able answers to try and clear stuff up.

                  So, check your assumptions, wind your neck in, and chill out.
                  Or pour another glass of wine, and enjoy your weekend of trolling.
