I am new to the board and hope this is the appropriate to share funny stories. Anyhow, I was talking with a friend who has tried for years to get me certified. Once certified, he shared this story with me now that I have an appreciation for pressure.

My friend went diving outside the SMoky Mountinas in Lake Chilhowee. He and his dive buddy had visited the local Krystals on UT campus the previous night. The morning of the dive, they ate a country breakfast with biscuits, eggs, suasage, and every other artery clogging food we love down here. The nameless buddy stated he needed to take twenty with a newspaper and release some excess ballast. For whatever reason he did not.

The buddy dove anyway. Their depth was 42 feet. During the dive he felt the constant urge but kept going. Well upon acent, pressure decreased and volume increased again and the fabled brown mountain trout got stuck in his wetsuit. It put up a struggle as it tried to swin out. I have never laughed so hard.

He ended up swimming around for about 30 post dive to do laundry!
 
The importance of this story and the movie Van Wilder....always take a d#mp before doing anything important, whether it be a class exam or diving for close to an hour.

BTW good to see some locals on SB now. Welcome to the board and see ya around k-town.
 
Yeah, I thought it would be awhile to find anyone remotely close. If you dont mind, Ill send you a PM sometime. Do you fourwheel too? If so I may have the perfect dive for you. A CJ5 on a submerged bridge!
