Today I’m breaking down the 5 things I absolutely hate about diving… and yep, you might be guilty of one of them.

I’m not holding back on this one. If you’ve ever felt shut down, priced out, or talked down to in the dive community, this video is for you. 👉 Drop your own “things you hate about diving” in the comments — let’s start a conversation that makes diving better for everyone. ⚓️ If you’re new here, I’m Zach — I’m a technical diver, rebreather instructor, and gear nerd.
