I recommended scubadivernet to an instructor friend. Here's his assessment:
"Frank,
Thanks for the reference to this web site, but after a brief survey of the messages posted today, I don't think I will use it. Offensive language, personal attacks, and non diving messages seem to be quite common. I like to use web sites that I can refer my students to, many of which are minors, and this site just isn't appropriate.
Thanks anyway, and if I don't see you at a meeting, have a great dive trip.
Wayne"
Needless to say, I steered him to this one. Personally, I dig both boards, but then I don't teach kiddies to dive ;-).
