Claudia,

   I have had consistently good experiences with my female dive buddy -- we
were cave trained at the same time (by Tyler Moon, a real pro), and have
done many dives, cave, technical, & recreational, together.  I prefer to
dive with Toni over many other divers I know because she is thorough,
grounded, and slightly more anal-retentive than most divers.  I think this
is good, given the demands of the sport.   I think women are just as capable
as guys, with just a slight difference in physical strength, etc.  Certainly
no big deal...   Toni is also my girlfriend and she is on this list, so she
kick my ass if I said otherwise. :-)

   So, whatta you think?  Is it different for girls??

  Regards,

    Perry

Subject: women and overhead diving


List,

Another curious question ...
we all know that there are not hordes of women doing technical dives.
Which is neither bad nor good, it just is.
I would like to know if you guys have good or bad experiences and
maybe even prefer to dive with a specific gender because of those
experiences.
Also, what do you find to be the difference regarding personality,
attitude etc between the average female OW diver and the one that
does overhead dives?

Thanks,
Claudia
