Addicted to Diving

[FreeFloat]

What would be a sign you're addicted to diving?

Hmm, let me see.

How about:

1. When you sneak out of work to go diving.
2. When your gear is always fully assembled and packed (or all stored in convenient "grab-and-go" location)
3. When you bring your log book EVERYWHERE.
4. When people don't bother to ask you what you did with your weekends anymore -OR- They rephrase from "How was your weekend" to "How many dives did you do on the weekend"
5. When you make up stuff to tell your SO about when you'll be home, in order to clear your schedule to go diving.
6. When faced with a choice between meeting people for coffee, doing stuff around the house that has been waiting to be done, or go diving, you GO DIVING.
7. When your gear receives more attention than your wardrobe, lawn, household chores, or vehicle.
8. When you make a trip to hang out at the LDS even when flat broke and the car is sucking fumes.

   Anyone else care to contribute?

your garage and find an air compressor you forgot you had.
You might be a diver.

If you can completely outfit another diver from your gear bag.
You might be a diver.


BTW
There is no work, only diving.
Just some dives are cleaner than others.

you might be a diver if all your dive gears cost more than your car

My car was 250$ gear about 10000$ and I do almost everithing you wrote .

...if you vaguely remember your SO saying something about a divorce if you keep dumpinghim in favour of diving 'dates', but you can't recall since it's been so long since you actually spoke

Was driving in the country the other day and say a town's rather large water tower. I wondered what it would be like to dive in one of those and whether I'd have to account for the attitude.

Am I diving too much?

Are lots of fun.

First you rig all the gear. Then you suit up.
Now climb the tower with something like 150-200 lbs of gear on.
Get in and do the inspection/cleaning as required.
Get out ot the tank.
Climb down the tower.

Just another day at the office.

Lots of people are switching to small ROVs for water tower work.
Much easier, cheaper and can get to places a diver cannot get into.
