A new religion?

[Mrs.Prages]

I think if we are going with this whole new religion theme we should of course have Black Velvet Robes.

 

[Squalus]

Gotta have hoods as well.

I can see up becoming a new-age retro religeon, distinct from the fundamentalist halcyon wing! When my Dad started diving it was a "new" thing to have a strip of colour on your wet suit so you could be seen more easily! Since I live in VA where there is a lot of other "false" religeon, I have now decided that I will tell anyone who asks that I am scubatarian

While in Bonaire I saw a church with a reef mural on it that quoted a psalm (110 I think) and spoke of the lords work in the deep.

I wonder if we could also be "Church of Christ Scuba Diver"? Since there is Christ Scientist (in England - I think they are an offshoot of the Scientologists).

Anyway, I almost made a convert yesterday. I offered to let him come into the pool with me and learn the ways of scuba

OK you got the structure figured out. Who is the Buddha, Jesus, Mohammed or whoever of this religion?

Hmmm I think it would be a toss up between Jules Verne and Jacques Cousteau

How about Flipper?

How about Flipper?

Or how about Patrick Duffy aka Bobby Ewing aka The Man from Atlantis!

The Shark is my Shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to dive down in blue waters:
He leadeth me beside the still bright coral.
He restoreth my soul:
He leadeth me in the paths of stingrays for His name' sake.

Yea, though I swim through the valley of the shadow of seaweed,
I will fear no baraccuda: For my diving buddy art with me;
Thy camera and thy flash, they picture me.
Thou preparest a dive before me in the presence of mine buddies;
Thou annointest my head with seawater; My mask runneth over.

Surely sea horses and schools of fish shall follow me all the dives of my life,
and I will dwell in the Deep Blue Sea forever.

I think you've just landed yourself a job as high priestess!
