I was just wondering what kind of rituals divers go though before, during and after a dive. Is there something that you just have to do, because it is what YOU do?
 
Well during a dive, sometimes I find myself singing underwater!

Funny I know, but I find it helps me relax and slow down my breathing a bit.

On the surface, I am ususally cursing at mother nature for not giving us enough sunlight! =)

Just before entry I say a short prayer to keep me safe and in thanks for the experience.
 
1) First off I go through all my gear and complain how dry it is

2) Assemble my BC Tank and Reg and attach clippies

3) put on wetsuit boots and re locate fins

4) place Equipment on body re locate fins and hold them

5) Think I should get a clippy thing for my fins

6) Enter water

7) Thank my Mom and God

for repetative dives just repeat step 4 through 7

I always make sure to do my pre-dive equipment check. Nothing more embarrassing than doing a giant stride then finding out you forgot your weight belt, or your fins, or forgot to turn your air on, etc...

Even before that though, I like to go through visualization techniques. I try to "see my dive" before I "make my dive". That always helps with maintaing good buoyancy control for me.
 
i agree with scuba doo
big white rabbits are friendly !

other than that i scour the country side for the buddie that was supposed to be at the dive site !
 
My son came up with

Big Whales Really Are Fat

yes before you get into the water it is a must
 
Lets not forget:

Big Women Really Are Fun

:)
 
Specticles, Testicles, Watch, Wallet

OH, that's another ritual.

Sorry
