So as obviously not a diver, is it normal to refer to the north and south pacific individually? Because that feels like padding to me

it’s normal to shut up and listen to actual experienced divers if you have something like 21 dives (some people do that many in one week). Being a moderator of a community is sort of the opposite of that

That would be 3 dives a day. Very risky. Maybe commercial divers?

Edit: I’m an avid diver with 22 dives under my belt. Only 1 ocean though, thus not qualified to moderate…

More like snorkling then? How do you deal wwith the danger of decompression sickness, especially with tourists? Sorry for the dumb question, its been almost 20 years since I had to do the theoretical stuff with all the math…and we had very strict instuctors (CMAS)

on these cruises, everyone dives with their own computers these days, when the dives are spread out through the day (first dive no later than 7 in the morning) then 3 dives is no problem at all even according to the most recent and conservative computers. If a 4th dive is done then yeah, that’s more like a bit of snorkling at 10 meters max and in the dark

I wouldnt call 3 a day risky, but its definitely very exhausting

It’s been a while for me, almost 20 years…but what about the risk of arterial air embolism and decompression sickness?

as long as your ascents are properly timed out with your dive computer it becomes much less of an issue – even less of an issue if they’re leading shallow tourist dives – as the previous post pointed out, your biggest problem is just plain exhaustion (which can lead to its own host of issues)

one of my last comments over there was along the lines of I don’t think Reddit understands the sheer scale of what they’re trying to change – 8800+ subreddits, 21,000+ volunteer moderators, but only a couple hundred admins (less after the recent layoffs) – each admin is going to be expected to moderate a hundred communities they know nothing about and are now actively hostile …
