Scuba lingo ?

[shark_tamer]

I have been on SB for not too long and sometimes I have problems understanding what you guys are saying ....

To make things worst, I'm French.. not France, but Montréal, Canada.

I'm probably not the only one, but it would probably help those like me who are not familiar with the lingo, to have a permanant thread with glossary.

Example:

MOF = Mask on forehead

 

[Cacia]

SPLASHED....time entered the water

Dirty...Nitrogen load

stroke...trainwreck diver, a relative term

 

[Ocean One]

Glad I'm not the only one in the dark on occassion on what was said!!!
I like the idea of a "glossary thread" for to post their slang lingo.

 

[Ocean One]

See I can't even type in English!!!!!

It took me a while to figure out OP (original poster) and I had to ask about ROTFLMAO... but that wasn't here.

Add to my lack of knowledge the scuba terms and I'm in the same boat (ha ha- get it? boat? scuba? oh- forget it).

.... and I'm in the same boat (ha ha- get it? boat? scuba? oh- forget it).

Keep me afloat on the latest developments !!!
