I sank?

Hmm... scuba diving is a combination of sinking and swimming, so..

I swink. Last weekend, I swank. I have swunk many times. I have been swinking for over 150 swinks.

Does this apply to all divers or only Dork Divers?

The seventh through eleventh examples that you list under 'perfect tense' are actually future perfect.

We've talked about this before. I use dived for scuba, and dove for swimming.
