Hmm...so is this the real reason some dorks carry spare snorkels? In case one is damaged during a bludgeoning?

Well, the short answer is "Dork means US!"
Good enough to put you over the top?
Ummm, no. BUT hiding fish food in their gear to make them "attractive" is ok. Everyone likes to feel attractive right?
Ber :lilbunny:
Ah, you apparently didn't get the memo. "US" is now *solely* the written form of the shouted voice of the objective case generic self-inclusive collective pronoun. The country formerly known as the "United States" is now to be referred to solely as "Estados Unidos". This change in policy was partially in deference to the significant immigrant population, and partially because by changing the abbreviation to "EU", everyone will be even *more* confused, thus preventing the governmental organizations on either side of the Atlantic from having the time to come up with any loopy laws regulating diving.Uh...OK.....Dork means United States...
So, as a frenchman I really can't be a dork diver ?
And if I had a green card ?![]()

On the contrary. Dork Divers like myself truly enjoy diving in cold water. It's a different kind of fun than diving warm tropical seas, but there's nothing anti-Dork about zipping myself into a drysuit for a "I can't believe it's not solid" cold water dive.4. Dork Divers like diving in warm tropical seas.
I think Swiss are not compatible with DORK, because in Switzerland, all great lakes (Lake Geneva, Lake Lucerne...) are very cold at 40°F, even in Summer.

(Or in other words, "Dorks 'r' us, but not with backwards upper-case "R"s that would get us sued by the big toy chain over here.", or by way of explanation, I'm *hungry* and I missed lunch! :biggrin
((And speaking of food, diving, and fishy attractiveness. I found an unopened fairly large jar of recalled peanut butter when I cleaned out my parents' pantry (since they *never* get around to it... they had canned goods that *expired* in March... 2000!). It's been declared unfit for human consumption, but it wouldn't harm a fish -- I ate a whole jar before the recall was announced, after all. Anyway, I keep forgetting to put it in my dive bag...))
