Scuba Music?

Maybe not the best background music, but I like Rock Lobster by the B52s.

What music do you associate with scuba diving? I am putting together a montage (sp) of all the pictures from a recent diving trip and making a movie from them. I am stuck for what to use as background music. We were in Mexico if that makes a difference.

Since you are basically making your own dive movie, you need to think about what emotions you want the lay-viewer to experience. Is it something soft and soothing like you feel when diving a lazy durrent drift over a reef? Or is it exciting, and adreniline pumping like you feel as you load the gear and head out to dive a wreck or cave you've been chomping at the bit to get wet on? The music sets the entire film.

It may be a bit over-used, but Carmina Burana by Carl Orff is always fun to set the excitement of a pre-dive to. In fact, I'm gonna listen to it now just for fun.

Really? I think this would make people get up and walk out or make them hold their ears to keep them from bleeding.


I recently used:

Incubus - Aqueus Transmissions (although more suited for a river dive with the "floating down the river" lyric)

Incubus - Are you In?

311 - Amber

So is there a buffet, a buffett or both in Margaritaville?
