Maybe I'm just irked because this was the second time this month someone did something like this (the other was while dirt biking).
I do a lot of masculine sports. I often find that men want to "help" but they end up getting in my space/business more than they would with another man. In this specific case, for example, the guy grabbed my BCD (vest) from behind while i was taking my fins off. He didnt say anything until i started twisting around to figure out why i wasnt moving with the waves. Then he says, "it would help if you unbuckle them." I told him i don't HAVE the quick-release clip he's referring to. He seems confused, and by now im out of my fins so he just says , "oh," and wanders back off.
My question is really how to react in these 10 or 15 second scenarios. Most of the time i walk about and think "wtf??" a couple minutes later. It's clear he had good intentions, but giving zero communication, frankly touching me or my gear out of my line of sight without my permision, and not announcing yourself until its clear that i know something about my situation is wrong is fucked up.
Anyone else run into this?
Should I go to a group certification and send it solo and hope to meet people there or what? None of my friends will go get certified with me.
Deep down I realized it wasn’t for me.
Farming the ocean with boats is okay for scrap.. it's slightly worse but you're less likely to get attacked. Please make it so that the combat knife or something else can cut/shorten the untying mechanic from underwater chests to make getting them actually worth it.
This question came up after a bout of drinking last night. No one really knew the answer so no one backed down. But my completely uninformed opinion tells me that the baby would be fine as long as the mom is fine.
Its a pretty fun hobby that id recommend to anyone with a coastline
