At a family BBQ, my aunt thinks commercial diving is just like in the movies.
Is it cool to play along or should we correct them every time?

Lots of jobs look different in movies than they really are. My uncle thought fishing was all adventure, but it's mostly early mornings and hard work. At your BBQ, maybe share a quick story about the boring parts of diving, like equipment checks. It can fix the idea without ruining the fun.

Totally get that. When friends think my work is all creative sparks, I'll mention the hours spent on client revisions. Kinda like equipment checks, it grounds the fun stuff in real work.

Yeah, that's true for pretty much any hobby too (once you get past the fun intro stuff).
