As a single female technical diver, I only expect to be treated as any other diver, for the level I’m diving. I am the only female technical diver in the area right now, so my options are rather limited. When I am on a dive trip, I am there to dive,... not for any hanky panky. I am not a prude, but neither am I out to cause any trouble. When I dive with male divers (most married), I maintain a professional demeanor & reasonable modesty. The gents & their SO’s appreciate it. They trust me around their husbands & I honor that trust. In fact, I’ve sort of been adopted as "one of the guys". I do not expect them to do anything for me (I am quite capable of handling my doubles by myself), but if they offer,... I never turn down help. I will also help them with their gear when they need it,... it’s part of being a dive team.
