"A lot of the time the title is so generic" A buddy request or equipment for sale needs the location in the title, Bay Area doesn’t cut it. I couldn’t figure out why someone would want to dive in Barnegat Bay until I went to the posters profile to see what bay he lived near.
As to " Just wondering does any body want a dive buddy?" , I’m taking pictures so I’m not a good buddy for a novice and on limited viz dives keeping track of a buddy is more trouble than it’s worth, on one NJ inlet dive my so called buddy got tangled in my float line so now I don’t look for buddies on NJ shore dives. If you are looking to do a NJ shore dive I’ll give you the plan and where to go but don’t expect any hand holding.
