Nude diving?

[oldschoolto]

I'd be more concerned about female divers pointing and saying, "not so hard".

I'd be more worried that the girls would be saying .....
" The water isn't THAT COLD "....

I think you're all wimps!
It's hilarious, and fun, and free!
I'm feeling like the odd one out on here now though, surely it can't be that unusual, see boys do it too!!!

Neked night dive .......ok, new bucket list entry.

I'm surprised that the term "Skin Diving" has not come up.

Some people call it "skinny dipping" when I do it they call it "Chunky Dunking".

Id do it but not sure if the boat would pick me back up.

If nothing else, it would definitely improve some people's trim and buoyancy control.

I don't get the opportunity because I hardly ever dive where the water is warm enough, or where I wouldn't offend someone's sensibilities or risk getting a ticket.

no, not where there are bluegills.... they tend to bite things....

Some fish might go for, umm, low hanging fruit.

I'm no fisherman, but I know that fish like to bite things that dangle.

Just remove any jewelry that might attract them.

In reality, a swimsuit or dive skin only provides the illusion of protection.

I'd avoid a BC with a crotch strap....

Just place it to one side or the other or replace it with a Y strap. I've thought about switching to a Y strap anyway because it would provide a more secure fit with less tendency to pull the waist strap down.

As far as appreciating good looking nude diver/snorkelers/swimmers/beachgoers is concerned, I always remember a saying my Dad came up with. "For every 10, there are ten 1s". One of the truths in life.

I think all people are interesting. It's impolite to stare, anyway.

Does PADI give a certification for that skill?

I'll bet the checkout dives draw a crowd!

No, but someone does an underwater modeling specialty.

Fire coral ? Urchins ?
Why invite trouble?

It's hands, feet, arms, and legs that are at risk.

You never know if people have an over-inflated opinion of themselves.

I prefer diving in the tropics, warm water is my friend (I can't deal with cold at ALL), but I've done plenty of nude dives. And not just the infamous 100th, either. I think it's fun!

Different people, different effect. I think I may have finned past that very spot a bit earlier. Scared that poor (edit misspelled) clam right out of it's shell...
