first off, lets go ahead and put our gear together
the most important thing is weight
now to calculate how much lead you are gonna need,
first off how much do you weigh?





alright next step





whenever assending make sure to hold your breath, this is the fastest way to equalize your ears... with the water. How much more equal can you be, your ears will be full of water.


also remember to poke every animal until you find out what it is
 
Pee in the mask, spit in the wetsuit.. Wait a minute.. was it the other way around?
If your fins both say L, that means they are both for left feet. you need to switch one of the fins with an L with one that has R.
 
you use Spare Air, or Ponys for poor gas management...
 
When you dive with someone, quickly head on your own and meet up back on land.

Do not worry about washing or rinsing your gear, you have it immersed in water already.

You must quickly get set up, run to get in the water, and swim like a shark is chasing you while underwater.
 
Distract as many divers as possible during the dive briefing so you aren't the only one without a clue as to what needs to happen.
If someone points out an interesting thing rush in to see it before some jerk scares it off or mucks up the vis.
All dives are a race, if you are last you loose. Except when there is a scheduled departure time ie initially getting on the boat to go on the dive. Or if someone keeps banging on tanks non stop, then last is best.
Never check your gear until putting it on just before the dive, you paid a lot of money for that crap it better work.

While the foreground is interesting enough, check the guy with the doubles in the background
 
Don't Worry! It's okay to feed the sharks by hand. They are actually very dainty eaters.
