Funniest Diving quotes you have heard

[ianw2]

To really split hairs; after a flight you can be significantly below saturation at 1 atm (effectively a negative pressure group). Might this indicate the possibility of longer than normal NDLs?

Unfortunately, Steve, No.

I asked this question during OW class, again during Nitrox class, DM class and even of an Advanced Gas instructor. The answer was the same each time.

The nitrogen loading between the time you managed to get off the plane, on to the boat and into the water would be such that the "residual" negative group would have returned to practically the same as if you hadn't flown at all.

Good try, though...

The question was quite tongue in cheek. And to get people thinking. I've been an instructor for 18 years. When you take into account the dehydration experienced on most comercial flights it is obvious that any diving immediately following a flight should be conservative. T

Always love it when people ask "What do you see down there?"

A dive buddy of mine always likes to respond ... "Oh, octopus, sharks, sea monsters, mermaids ..."

So what you are saying is to benefit from that residual negative group you will need to sky dive from say 18,000 feet James Bond style.

I KNEW there had to be a good justification for a HALO jump followed immediately by a nice relaxing dive.

Who wants to go?

Student to Instructor after first day of dives in OW training " I sure had a lot of problems with farting last night, is that from breathing all that air?"

Instructor to Student " No that's probably from the burritos you ate last night"

I'm in. Just remember that at altitudes above 10,000 feet you need to breathe supplemental O2, and to wear the parachute, the tanks need to be set up as sidemounts. Don't forget to switch from O2 to your diving gas of choice before submerging.

Is there a PADI card for this?
