Divers: Friend or Foe?

I like to do a good amount of Rock-Hopping along the N. Shore and have one pet peeve: DIVERS! They show up in groups of 5-25, often with thier wives and children in tow and spend a good 1/2 hour right behind the fishermen getting prepped. Then they proceed to walk right past you and slide into water almost directly over your line. Divers, in almost all my experience, are the rudest, most inconsiderate creatures to swim in the ocean. There are lots of acess point just 40 or 50 yards away from where I am fishing but they insist on jumping in to my honey-hole. Of course when they emerge it is right onto the rock on which I stand.


Divers also claim one of two things: There are no stripers withing 2 miles of this place or there are all schoolies which follow them around because they "like the bubbles" they create.

Once I had a diver claim that there were two cow bass (at least 40") right below him. This guy actually was surfacing and telling me where to cast. I never hooked into a fish and hafta wonder if he was messing with my head.
I am sure that some of you folks have had similar experiences and that some of you are divers. Am I the only one who gets annoyed by them?
