Dive Pranks and April Fools day

[emtdan]

I have been reading other posts about good pranks to pull underwater, but I am looking for diving pranks on land.

They'll be pretty shocked when you cut their primary regulator hose.. or fill their Al 80 with argon... or put a nice little inconspicuous hole in their BC.

Oh yes, these are good pranks

Yes, or the conversation after that oh, so short dive with pure helium

You can speak with helium. I'd rather sound like Barry White by breathing argon. The chicks dig it.

When doing a dive where a light is required hover slightly above your buddy and hold onto to his tank and allow him to pull you around the dive site. Make sure you keep your light a few feet off to the side within eyesite of your buddy so that they don't get suspicious.

Find the largest starfish you can find and attach it to your buddy's tank.

Personally I'm not into some of the other pranks like turning off air, doing more than one OOA drills, faking an O2 tox, surface leg cramps and having your buddy swim you back to shore, putting a porkchop in their BC while on a shark dive etc... I feel that all of these can lead trust issues with a regular dive partner and are not worth the laugh. Call me a kill joy...

Great, I'm getting my ice diving certificate! Thank goodness class is friday night,(April fools day) & cert dives will be on saturday and sunday(the second and the third of april) wheeeew, that was a close one. I really don't want to think about coming back and not finding the hole, cut hose e.t.c...... :11:

You could freak out and point into the oblivion every time your buddy looks your way... (Underwater of course).

Above the surface, remove his/her wetsuit from their dive bag, and replace it with footed PJ's.

While not really a dive prank, and certainly not very nice, I thought I would pass on a very bad prank I witnessed once.

A young newlywed had just completed his first offshore trip (~ 3 weeks) and was waiting in the airport for his plane home. He went off to the gift shop to buy something for his wife, and one of the crew members digs into this guys bag and pulls out a dirty pair of underwear. He then makes a fist, and spreads some red lipstick on his thumb and finger (so it's shaped just like a pair of lips), and makes a couple of perfect lipstick "kisses" on the underwear.

The underwear goes back in the bag, and no one said a word to the poor kid when he returned. Can you imagine trying to explain that one to his wife?

"Honest honey, I have no idea how that lipstick got there...." :11:

Truly Evil.

I let my wife and the DM in on this before I did it. On a boat in Coz I squirted the contents of a foil ketchup packet in the palm of my hand. As I walked to the front of the boat I "tripped" falling to the deck and grabbing my forehead with the ketchup filled hand stood up for all to see. I got called a lot of different names.

Got some leftover Carnival doubloons? Spread them around a wreck, your buddy will think he's Mel Fisher, at least for a few minutes.
