Dive 100 - NAKED!!!!

[DivingPrincessE]

Be sure to tell me in enough time to book the airfare! I wouldn't miss a milestone dive my friend.

You're such a good friend B.

Although you'd have to leave the camera at home that time.

 

[Brewski]

Em, the camera is part of my equipment if I leave it behind I'll list to one side

 

[DivingPrincessE]

Well we can't have you having bad trim...

Hello all... life is not a dress rehersal,so make it your best performance, because we don't know when the curtain will fall.

so when I overheard a long time ago that there was a tradition with diver's to dive their 100th dive naked!!!!

Well !! I thought, this is probably wishing thinking on someone's part? or there should be something to this...lol..

As luck would have it, I was fortunate enough to be in a location (Cozumel) for just such an occasion.. dive "100" ..

I mentioned to the dive shop "Dressel's", that I had dive 100 approaching.. and again the comment came about the dive naked thing... '

I should mention that at the time of my vacation I was awaiting word on the condition of my younger brother (41) he was diagnosed with stage four stomach cancer and was living day to day.. and living life.. I love and live life like today could be my last.. I have always done that.. and my brother cried to me when he told me that he thought he had everything.. four degree's and a healthy bank account ,said he never did anything but serve his country as a officer in the Canadian Military ( Princess Pat's) that to me was huge.. so when continplating my 100 dive... NAKED it was!!!!

It was the best feeling in the world and when I'm 80.. (hopefully) I will love to think about that dive and the story I can tell my grandchildren...

My Motto " Don't regret the things I do!, only the things I don't!" so far so good..

Cheer's and happy diving...

Hell ya.

I'm biting my tongue... can't say it....

Hadn't thought about it, but I'm not shy at naked beaches so I don't see why it would be different on a dive boat. I think (for the most part) people in the US are too uptight about nudity.

Amen girl. This is the first I've heard of this "nekkid"/naked/nude 100th dive thing, but I think it's AWESOME and I am so doing it.

 

[sigourneya]

Depends who you ask. Some say diving "naked" means nude and diving "nekkid" means freediving or without a wetsuit. Others say both mean nude and "nekkid" just means you're up to something. I've also seen some people use "naked" to refer to freediving.

I think the whole "nekkid" thing is retarded, and naked means...naked as in nude. I will be doing my 100th dive naked (incase there is any confusion...nude).

Thanks for clearing up my confusion, I will NOT be diving naked (I don't want to scare the fish.) I will, however, dive nekkid during the warm summer months.

I'd scare a whole lot more than the fish if I dove naked. LOL
I can see the headlines now.
