Scuba Diving Acronyms

[Tropicalwolf]

My instructor told me to remember BWRAF as Bruce Willis ruins all films

I thought it was HRAF...Hollywood Ruins All Films

I like it A LOT. I will pass them along in my basic scuba classes.

When I was a DMC (I suppose I still technically am), I would change the order to BWARF -- and suggest students remember to "bwarf" before getting in the water.
I found it really helped it stick for those who had trouble with the usual version.

Another mnemonic I remember hearing was "Bangkok Women Really Aren't Female".

Big Women Are Really Fun.

thats how my instructor put it, and I laugh to this day over it.

Any more funny (or rude) acronyms for the pre-dive safety check, got a bit of a competition going with a fellow instructor.

Ours and two more lists:

Scuba Acronyms - ScubaBoard Articles
Glossary of SCUBA diving - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Scuba Slang and Technical Terms

The first of these links, the one that was here on ScubaBoard, no longer seems to work. And I have been unsuccessful trying to find it by searching.
As I recall, it was an excellent list.
Is there some way to fix the link?
