Let's put our serious side aside and have some fun reading accounts of funny episodes occurring underwater.
I was diving with a buddy of mine recently and we had decided to practice some skill, namely DSMB release at dive's end. Dive went uneventfully then we signaled practice time. My buddy, religiously and methodically took the DSMB out of his pocket, then inflated it and let go, Well the DSMB went straight up dictated by the laws of physics. That's when I started to laugh uncontrollably for the next 2 minutes since "my buddy" forgot to attach the reel to the DSMB. Allegedly he looked at me ( I did not see him as my eyes were tearing from laughing so hard) and then went for the surface. On the surface I stayed calm and collected but he told me that it was the reason we should practice skills more often. I agreed, turned my back to him and tried to contain myself and not burst into the funnies.
