Tour Guides. What absolute wild cards have you had to deal with in your tours? I led a scuba diving

tour. While signing the safety waivers and all that, one very old man kept telling us that he had a

DNR, a do not resuscitate order. We plainly told him that we're not bound to a DNR, and if he

passed out for any reason, we'd attempt to resuscitate by

our safety training. Pretty much all the divers are just assuming that this guy is going to try and

bookend the story of his life down there, probably by spitting out the regulator and going quietly

into the ice. The dive happens, and pretty much everyone is hawk-eyed on this guy. I see him go

behind a large coral head and lay down in the sand and spit out his

reg. He's only at about 60 feet depth, so I grab him and wrestle him to the surface. He won't take

my backup regulator, so I slam it against his mouth and purge air into his face. We get to the

surface, and he's fighting me non-stop, trying to pull all of his gear off.

I throw a very hard punch to his jaw and knock him out.

We're actually trained to do this during dive rescues to keep panicked people from killing us as well.

Three weeks later, he tries to sue my dive shop and myself personally.

Thankfully, it ended up getting dropped, but it did take a while.

In short, a guy tried to use our business to not be alive anymore and traumatize a whole

bunch of other people in the process.

About 15 years ago, I worked as a deckhand on a line of boats that took people out to

Fort Sumter.

The trip was about an hour each way.

One day, we were about halfway there, and two teenagers just decided it would be fun to jump off and swim to shore.
