No, I don't have a diving nickname, but my dive instructor who teaches the certification course I was taking was nicknamed the "Tank". I have no idea why he was called that but that is what we all reffered to him as.
 
I have two diving names.

"Lobster Assasin"
self explanatory

"The Specialist"
Due to my ridiculous propensity to bring everything imaginable attached to me.
Such as a Camera, Bugger/Snare, Net, 2 tickle sticks, Bug Bag, Mesh Trash Bag, Spare Booties, Spare Defog, Capri Suns, Dive Flag, Safety Sausage, Mirror, Slate, 2 Knives, Chap Stick, Water Bottle, Orange Flagging, Fishing Licence, Glasses Case, among others.
Oh Yeah, and sometimes all that AND A SPEARGUN!

I need help........

Chug


Maybe "The Generalist" would be more accurate? Or how is this for a PADI specialty: "Equipmentalist"? I think it has a ring to it!

Dive bling rules
 
Mine is (obviously) my board name - so named by my OW instructor.
During OW training, we were REPEATEDLY (for good reason) drilled about not leaving our masks up on our forehead, either take them off or put them around our necks. Not liking the feeling of it across my neck, and not liking to hold it, I simply took to turning it around on my head so that the strap was across my forehead...and with a bright red strap, shaggy long hair, and a ridiculously buff bod :wink: I was hence nicknamed Rambo.

On an even better note, one of my fellow classmates was nicknamed Bubbles...because he was so often lost, and by such an extreme amount (how one can get lost when all they have to do is follow a pair of fins...I'll never know), the only way to find him was to surface and look for his bubble trail (he also apparently didn't believe in sitting still when lost...)
