Ronin, welcome to the addictive phase of scuba.........I have been instructed by wife not to discuss scuba in public, unless asked, because it makes people's eyes glaze over. I do it anyway........a diving girlfriend would be helpful at this point.

Mitch you are not alone. I have only been certified for a few month and done a couple of dives, every time I talk to someone I'm trying to get them certified, so I can have more dive buddies to go and share the experience with. I will going on a cruise next month with Carnival and will be diving Grand Cayman, can't wait. This will be our first ocean dive. I actually have to think about other things to talk about (which is hard) so I don't overwhelm anyone with my scuba stuff.

I know the feeling of wanting to talk about scuba all the time 
The question I get alot is "how long does your oxygen last?", and they are likely just making conversation, but after 45 minutes of listening to me talk about different gas mixes, volume changes at depth, nitrogen absorbtion, and partial pressures, they can't wait to get away from me.
So now, I just assume (likely incorrectly) that since they refer to oxygen in their question, that they mean no deeper than 20', and my answer is "a little over an hour" and I do everything I can to hold back everything else
I have since found that people don't try to avoid me at parties anymore.
