Kind of addicting, when not diving.

You know you're a diver when you wear your dive gloves out side when its cold.

A few years ago I donned my drysuit, hood, and dry gloves to clear some clogged gutters during a freezing rainstorm.
 
when the water temp is significantly warmer than air temps, it might be snowing, but you still think "**** it, let's go diving"
 
You know you're a diver when you use dive gear to fix problems around your house. (Just used a tank and first stage to clear a plugged dishwasher LOL!!!)
 
When you watch a mother wipe her kids runny nose and you are thinking "Whats all the fuss about"
 
- when your diving equipment on a fly in holiday weighs 150 pounds and the non diving 10 pounds.
- when you have a 2nd backplate with you on the luggage (no webbing, single tank diving after the cave diving)
- your equipment costs more than the luggage of the next randomly selected 5 passengers combined
- you get very good at weighing all your luggage by hand to keep below the 40 pound limit.
- you no longer buy dive shop t-shirts to show where you've been...... man you've been around... no need showing!
- you dive dry everything below 26C° and the local dive guides think you are nuts (while getting out of the water in their 5mm wetsuits shivering)
 
You think a vacation is a waste of money unless it involves diving...
