I’ve been asked quite a bit about what I look for in a good diver. This can be very subjective and many people may not agree with me. None of qualities I look for in a scuba diver have to deal with certification levels or equipment used. I know some very good divers who use jacket BCDs and snorkels. So I thought I would share the top five characteristics that I feel make for a good scuba diver in order of importance. Please feel free to share your opinion.

1. Attitude – A diver’s attitude sets the bar for how they will behave underwater. If a diver is safety conscious, then they will approach their diving with conservatism. They won’t push depth and time limits, just to do a dive. A diver’s attitude will also include a sense of continual improving. You don’t need to always take classes to improve. But when a diver realizes that being “perfect” is a journey and not a goal, it makes going out and diving much more enjoyable.

2. Awareness – A good diver will be aware of three things on every dive, 1) their buddy/team, 2) their equipment, and 3) their environment. A good diver knows when their feet start to drop and risk getting into the silty bottom or coral. A good diver will know how to have control over their equipment. They will also know what is going on with their buddy at all times and not be guessing.

3. Calm – An excellent trait of a good scuba diver is that they can be calm. I want a buddy who can calmly react to emergencies and situations underwater without losing control of #2 above. When a diver is calm and comfortable underwater, their breathing will be in more rhythm and they will be able to lower their gas consumption. Remaining calm, when task loaded, takes practice. It’s not rocket science, but does take a little more time.

4. Dive Planning – A good diver will be able to put together a thorough dive plan. A dive plan that consists of no decompression limits, ascent strategy, management of the gas supply, and team positioning. Basically, a dive plan that maximizes safety and enjoyment of the dive.

5. Diving for the Right Reason – As an instructor, I’ve seen many people take up diving for all of the wrong reasons. Some have had to do it for a job (I’ve had a few pool cleaners in the past), their spouses/partners are making them, and some do it to get over their fear of the water.
There is only one reason for why we dive, that reason is fun. Diving is a recreational activity. We shouldn’t put “scuba politics” and other crap in front of what really matters most. All of the “my agency is better than your agency” and other dick measuring contests (pardon my language) is VERY, VERY unnecessary. Go out and have fun. See those pretty fishes in the Caribbean or visit the shipwrecks in the Great Lakes. All diving is fun.

So that’s my list of what makes up a good scuba diver. You have probably noticed that no where in my list did I mention diving skills. That’s because a good scuba diver fill fix what is between their ears first. Then the great diving skills will follow.

先上载，看那一位同学可以好心翻译，不然多几天我上完课回来才翻译。

翻着这段先

笔者被询问过怎样才是位好潜员。其实这个答案很客观，也许很多人未必会认同我。 一个潜员的质素与他的潜照资格/用具未必有关联。笔者认识一些很好的潜员只用着jacket BCDs和snorkels。所以我想在这里和大家分享五个好潜员该有的性格以便大家一起共同进步。请随意的提供你们的意见

1）态度-一位潜员本身的态度将会反映出他们在水底的行为。如果这位潜员很有警惕性的话，他们将会保守性的享受他们的潜水活动。 他们将不会“去到尽”。一位潜员该有的态度包括了自我进步的觉悟。你未必要上很多的课来取得进步。但作为一位潜员应该意识到’完美‘不是最终的目标而是一个旅程，这会让你更加的享受潜水。

2）警觉性-一位好的潜员会在潜水前特别注意3种事项 I)他们的潜伴/团队， II）他们的潜水装备还有 III）环境。一位好的潜员会知道自己在干些什么，由开始负浮性到身体接触到淤泥地的危机或者碰到珊瑚礁。一位好的潜员该会适当的运用他们的装备。他们也需要了解他们的潜伴发生什么事而不是胡乱猜疑（传说中的kat起条尾就知你做么）

3）冷静- 身为一位好潜员需要具备着一个冷静的脑袋。每个人都渴望有位可以在紧急时刻好能够处之泰然的潜伴。当一位潜员能够在水底保持冷静和舒适，他们的呼吸会更加的有节奏。这样将会减少氧气的摄取。保持冷静，练习多点该做的动作（Skill？这句猜的）。这不是高端的科学，我们需要的是多点时间练习。

4）潜水策划-一位好的潜员应具备能过设计好一套完整的方案。 潜水策划里头应该包括了：NDL,上升水面的方案，气瓶的管理还有潜队的阵容（positioning like 442,451还是一个DM对多少位潜员？）简单来说一个好的潜水方案能够把安全和娱乐提高到最高点。

5) 正确的出发点-作为一位导师，我见过太多人为了错取得出发点而学习潜水。有些是工作关系（泳池清洁工人），被他们的伴侣强逼的，有些是为了战胜对水的恐惧感。 其实潜水唯一的目的是享受潜水的乐趣。潜水是一种悠闲地活动，不要把它政治化（好像某个a片总会长讲的一样）。那些我的DC比你的好/还是比较谁的jj比较长是没有意义的。去尽情的享受吧。去看看加勒比的漂亮鱼群或者Great Lakes的船骸。所有的潜水活动都应该是欢快的。

以上就是笔者本身认为好潜员该有的特质。你可能会发现到我的举例都跟潜水技术无关。那是因为会把该听的教训都记牢，那么好的潜水技术就会接踵而来。
