Funniest Diving quotes you have heard

[tomboyy]

I just saw a seasoned diver again the other day donning a borrowed wetsuit the wrong way round. These things happen. It's funny alright, but I fail to see how that mistake precludes someone from doing a 140' dive. What I find obnoxious though is for someone with 50-99 dives logged to decide what is safe and what is not safe for others divers to do, based on how they don a rental wetsuit.

It was you wasn't it

I wouldn't want to hit the graveyard at Jocasse with someone who put on their rental suit on backwards... the knee pads on the back of your knees .. really ....really ?

"Aren't you afraid of the fish?" . . . .

Then don't. But hear me now, the day will come when even someone as amazingly experienced as you will make the mistake of donning your wetsuit the wrong way round - most likely when it's a rental wetsuit with a different zip configuration than the one you're used to. Most people realise their folly when they're halfway through, others don't until after the dive. I've encountered one diver even who insists that his wetsuit has a more comfy fit when he wears it with the knee pads on the back of his legs.

From non-diver friend - "Doesn't it smell like fish underwater?"

Yea I agree, everyone makes mistakes. I am not hugely experienced but I have nearly 400 dives so I have a bit and I am quite comfortable and competent at the recreational local diving available to me. But recently I stuck my BC on my tank the wrong way whilst I was distracted talking to a buddy much to others' amusement and I've done similar things like that from time to time. Fair enough if people don't want to dive with me because of that but silly things will be done by most people at some point so you might run out of buddies if you are so strict about who you will dive with

I wouldn't go to 140' with a diver who has done less than 100 dives and only done rec training. To each their own though.

I fail to see anything funny written in the last handful of posts. Someone eff'd up and someone thought it was funny, someone else did not.......get over it. You guys are around the world from each other so you will likely never dive with each other so who cares.

Ya, way to kill a great thread. So I'll get it going again. Diving with my 14 year old son I came across a sea cucumber the size of a football. Black and lumpy. I pointed to it. He shrugged. I wrote on my slate, "C cucumber." He wrote back, "Looks like horse poop!"

Turns out it is actually called Donkey Dung C Cucumber.

Kids can be so smart.

Having only two post-cert dives I don't have much to contribute But the words of my instructor at my first in-pool session will always stick with me:

DI: Welcome to my ool...you will notice there's no pee in my pool.
