Okay here are the rules:
DIR perspective:
1) No speedo allowed. It is simply another failure point (although a black speedo with a big blue "H" on the front would be pretty damn funny).
If you do wear a banana hammock, remember this:
1) Trim the forest. The ladies do it, and we should also do this for all of humanity.
2) No thong-backed hammocks. That is just wrong.
3) Evaluate yourself. You may not be hammock qualified. This is okay. We should be comfortable with our bodies. If you are in doubt, either stop doing drugs and look in the mirror, or in the alternative, ScubaBabe22 is offering a cert class, it is one day, $100, and if you have the appropriate c-card, then you will be let on the boat.
If you go commando:
1) Learn the art of the deck-change. It isn't that difficult, they make towels in all sizes, and nobody wants to see your junk. Especially if you violate the rule about trimming.
Underlying these rules is that, unlike ladies, men just aren't that visually appealing. Let's face it, even when in shape, we are lumpy, hairy and down right funny looking. We compensate for this by wearing practical things, like surf trunks. Love your body, but please don't feel like you need to wear a speedo to fully express the fact that you have embraced your self-image and are comfortable with that. Don't worry, I'll take your word for it.
