Stick a Tennis ball in their BC pocket before a deep dive. Makes a nice pop on the way back up.

I sort of like Alka-Selttzer (sp?) in a BCD pocket.
Chocolate "gold" coins in the sand at a wreck site. No matter who sees them, someone will break dive ettiquete and smuggle some to the surface hidden in their b.c. After a while in a pocket at the surface they start to melt and....
I really do see humor in many things, but I'm still trying to "get" the humor in screwing around with someones life support equipment. Or expensive dive gear, for that matter (ink in a dive boot???) Jeeze!
Should go over great w/ the crew who has to clean the boat
And putting hot sauce in in a reg - do you actually need it spelled out why this is a really bad idea????
Besides being dumb, some of these ideas are dangerous. Should be focusing on the dive and its preparations - think how bad you would feel if even you were 1% or 5% responsible for an accident - they do happen. And lets not forget about the legal ramifications in todays society, b/c if there is a problem, you can bet you are going to have an issue.
I feel strongly about this issue (bet you could'nt tell), because I still remember an incident in the recent past when we had a diver die and had to retrieve his body from 90 feet and transport it back to shore - no "jokes" were involved, but it does change your perspective on what can happen and troubles me to this day.
But don't take my word for it - talk to anyone on the boat when, in another incident, a diver by the name of "Little John" was taken to the chamber and later died (this was in Jupiter FL, as was my incident a couple of years before) - I will bet you they share my feelings.
