I am man. I can change, if I have too.

I find it interesting that you find men who treat you like you don't want to be treated. The truth is that for now it is a "Man's sport". Not correct but that is how it is preceived. So you know that I am with you in this is by stating that both my wife and duaghter dive. There is no disbelief when I say I dive, but they are surprized that my wife also dives, and completely off gaurd when they learn about my daughter.

As more women enter the sport and begin to own shops, lead trips, and generally become more recognized in the industry, then it will change.

At least this is the truth as I see it.
