The First Time

[MXGratefulDiver]

It's your first time.

You feel clumsy.

You're not sure where to put your hands.

The lighting is dim, yet you keep your eyes open because you don't want to miss anything.

At first the rubber was uncomfortable, but you soon forget you're wearing it.

You say a silent prayer of thanks that you are with someone you trust.

Suddenly a wave of euphoria crashes over you.

The excitement is incomparable, and you are wet beyond your wildest dreams.

Welcome to the world of scuba diving.

You start by trying it on your knees, then as you feel more confident you try it again in a horizontal position. You struggle a bit, but are told that it's "better" this way.

I don't know where you found that, Bob, but that's funny!

What's even funnier was that I had to read it twice before I picked up the double entendre . . .

I have to ask.... Where did you go first if it took two reads for the double entendre? Lol

I found it on a framed poster at the dive resort I stayed at over the past week-end. When I read it, I figured it belonged on ScubaBoard ...

It's currently making the rounds on FB in a number of "status" postings.

Yes, I saw the Facebook one... But it also said something about "The more experience you get, the longer and deeper you want to go..."
