There once was a man from Nantucket...............
I doubt know if this is what you had in mind but I wrote it a couple years ago after a particularily "interesting" open water weekend in Tobermory....
Ode to the Open Water Weekend.
To Deep Sea Dan, I respond to thee,
Of students and checkouts,
And stinky wetsuits filled with pee.
This weekend of mystery began with a flop,
Our boat was not for Sunday, but a Saturday hop.
Undaunted we left with new things to do.
To do checkouts from the boat and hope we don't hear "I'll Sue"
Rolling and rocking on the waves like a Comet,
Waiting and wondering which students will Vomit!
First to the Niagara to have a good dive,
Whilst the students buzzed, like bees in a hive.
Now, off to the caves weather permitting,
With most of the group somewhat bored and sitting.
Alas, the rocks by the caves, the good W.A. Spears would pinch,
So sadly we turned around and headed to the "Charles P. Minch"
Into the bay at Cove Island, so pretty it looked,
Good seas at last, the students wouldn't be cooked !
Onward and downward, the herd did scramble,
Following the Instructors and Dive masters preamble.
Two by two they came down from the world aloft,
To be told by some instructor-Hey take your mask off !
Air sharing and mask clearing - doing skills by request!
Each of them trying to achieve a personal best.
Buddy pairs swimming ignoring each other,
OH GREAT DIVE GODS! - Will they ever learn to hover ?
One pairs entry was a bit of a miss
As the husbands weight belt - fell into the abyss!
Struggling and laboured, they were having no fun
Their diving careers ended, before they had begun.
With some degree of success, and after quite a chore.
We scoffed up our lunch and sailed off to the "Wetmore".
Oooing and aaahing as they frolicked about.
An adventure they were having, without a doubt.
Then back to the harbour, many grins did abound,
As at last we sailed into Tobermory Sound.
Back to the lodge to carve the roast Beast,
Stories and smiles abounded while eating the feast.
Good Sunday did arrive and to new places we went.
No great worries would come and no one got bent.
With smiles and chuckles and hugs all about,
Our new fledgling divers began to head out.
And off in the distance as they faded from sight,
We heard them say, good diving to all and to all a good night.

AI Cthulhu
Words by Brian Biddle, to the tune of ``Calypso'' by John Denver.
We dived from the boat into crystal clear water
To search the Pacific for treasures untold,
But the city we found on an undersea island,
When we looked proved to be several million years old;
And a city that ancient was not built by man...
Chorus
Ai Cthulhu, we should have known better,
But we'd never listened to stories men say.
Ai Cthulhu, the horrors we met with,
The things that we saw make me yodel each day.
[yodel]
The buildings we found there were quite cyclopean,
When viewed in the rays of the gibbous moon's light;
With carvings of monsters in indecent poses,
All doing those things which could ruin your sight.
And mostly in threes, which could never be right.
Chorus
Ai Cthulhu, we could have escaped then,
But our curiosity was our downfall.
Ai Cthulhu, so into the city,
The terror within there could destroy us all.
[yodel]
The first clue we had to there being a danger,
Was when something with tentacles swallowed two men;
And when the Professor was ate by a shoggoth,
We knew that our explorations had to end.
And so back to the mainland we quickly did flee.
Chorus
Ai Cthulhu, our troubles continued,
We'd noticed the natives all had staring eyes.
Ai Cthulhu, they worshipped the Old One,
To find they were Deep Ones came as a surprise.
[Yodel]
I only escaped to bring back my story,
But no-one believed in the horror I'd saw,
They sent me away from the old Miskatonic,
The threat to the world they all chose to ignore,
But someday I promise to have my revenge.
Chorus
Ai Cthulhu, I know all about you,
I've read all the books and I know all the spells.
Ai Cthulhu, I'm coming to get you
Once they let me out of this nice padded cell!
Repeat chorus ending with a yodel - which becomes a strangled scream which is ominously cut short.
