San Diego this Saturday

Hey everyone, I want to dive. And I was invited to a boat that I don't think my dad will let me go on because the captain is too young for him to let me(if you read this thank you for the offer though). And my main dive buddy is going out with him so I was curious if anyone else might want to go this Saturday?

Damn, its tough for us captains. After asking me to take him out, another guy's mother wouldn't let him go because I was a dirty old man.

Exactly what is the magic age that is acceptable between too young and too inexperienced and too old and too liable to molest you?

Haha, I'm sorry Bill. I would go out with every last one of you if I could but until im 18, it's my parents that get to decide if I can go out with people they don't know.

Re: San Diego this Saturday

How many divers who own boats do your parents know?

None! Which is a major problem that I am trying to make a compromise with them. Like maybe they talk to the boat owner so they don't feel like they are letting me loose with a complete "danger-stranger".

Well, if being a Christian is a prerequisite, I wouldn't pass the test. I'm just a heathen who treats everyone horribly.

Bill, if it makes you feel better, my wife doesn't care if you're a dirty old man. She just won't let me go out on your boat because she know's I'll come home wanting one of them fancy Hawaiian spearguns...

For the record she was at first freaked out about not knowing you but she got over it when I told her you were God. She didn't let me go because I had to finish my college aps that your amazing wife helped me out on. I can't thank your wife enough.

Re: San Diego this Saturday

His parents wouldn't let him dive with me and I'm the only other diver that goes out as much. And the main reason why they wouldnt let him go out with me is because for some reason I would be more his friend then his older brothers or something stupid like that. Happy I'll have my mom call your dad and she will talk your dad into it. I want you to go out it seems like its going to be so fun.

Don't think that you turning 18 is gonna change the way your parents treat you. I can bet you that the trend will continue even after you have turned 18.

Yeah, things only start to change after you move out and get a job.
