You know you're
addicted to scuba diving when:
|
| |
|
 |
Every morning the sound of
shaving foam (psshhhht) makes you want to go
diving. |
|
|
You actually like wearing
a full-length wetsuit, hood, gloves, boots,
fins, mask, snorkel, buoyancy compensator,
compressed air tank, scuba regulator, dive
computer, a knife strapped to your inside calf,
and 7 kg of lead around your waist, but people
look at you strange in the office. |
|
|
The local dive shop people
recognise you - on the telephone. |
|
|
You automatically breathe out
when you walk up a flight of stairs. |
|
|
You suddenly discover a fervent
interest in attending scientific conferences in
Vanuatu, the Red Sea, the Caribbean, Thailand
and the Great Barrier Reef. |
|
|
The value of money is measured
by how much dive gear you could buy with it. |
|
|
No-one asks for your
certification card any more. |
|
|
Fresh air is starting to taste
funny. |
|
|
The most common word on your
credit card bill is DIVE. |
|
|
Your house always smells of wet
neoprene. |
|
|
You put your left shoe on by
dropping it on the ground, standing on the toe
of the shoe with your right heel, and forcing
your left foot into the shoe. |
|
|
You look back at your logbooks
and realize you've spent more time at
decompression than at uni. |
|
|
Your dive log is available on
Amazon.com. |
|
|
You worry that your office
elevator is ascending too quickly. |
|
|
You've stopped logging your
dives because it's easier to just log your
surface intervals. |
|
|
You clear your ears prior to
stepping on a down escalator. |
|
|
Your picture appears on fish
identification tables. |
If you have
witnessed other signs of diving addiction, make
a post to the forums the
better ones will be added to this list |
