"Open-circuit and finning are for peasants"

Looking at getting T-shirts made:

OPEN-CIRCUIT & FINNING
<image of CCR diver with DPV>
ARE FOR PEASANTS

As we can never have enough dive related T-shirts, who would want one?

Perhaps find a way to express your feelings for CCR and DPVs that does not involve insulting every other diver?

I guess if I understood the humor, maybe? Don't we all have to fin to doodle around underwater, but its the style of finning that make us pros? Please insert all the links "here" to be underwater educated.

DPV = Diver Propulsion Vehicle, aka underwater scooter. No finning necessary.

It is completely a joke based upon threads going sideways.

Unfortunately, I cannot include a sense of humor with the t-shirt.

I don't even own a proper DPV btw. When Landon shared a picture of a diver on sidemount with a DPV with the text "Finning is for peasants", I laughed my arse off. All this is based on that image.

I haven't made it yet. Now mind you, this is COMPLETELY a joke. I don't have disdain for OC divers (I still dive OC from time to time) and I don't have a proper scooter. Now a scooter will make more dive sites accessible to me in the Seattle area.

But it is meant to be in a joke. I'm shaking my head as to the people taking offense.

Nope. Still not seeing any humor here.

Ok. Luckily, I'm writing this from the rehearsal room at Second City here in Chicago. Give me a minute...

They don't think it's funny either.
