Things I can blame ScubaBoard for...

[El Orans]

1. I'm no longer happy with just any instructor for my certs. I now expect much more than just the minimum requirements;
2. My geographical knowledge of the USA has increased significantly;
3. I keep spending large quantities of my income on diving trips to locations I had never heard of previously. As a result of these trips, the missus is no longer happy with local diving - she now demands tropical diving; :11:
4. The list of locations yet to be visited just keeps growing.

So, what can you blame ScubaBoard for?

Every piece of gear I own sucks and will kill me if I take it below 2 feet.

The sudden urge to kill things

the urge to try things i cant afford.

1) For constant equipment upgrades
2) Finding many like-minded divers
3) Having international dive buds
4) Being forever in debt to finance my addition...

3 more cert cards ...not to mention all the cyber cards:shakehead

Let's see, there's...

1. J&J baby shampoo defog (and all-around wonderstuff)
2. My little pony
3. My Jet fins
4. My drysuit
5. My dry gloves and rings
6. My DSS backplate and wing

Um, perhaps I should've been more general and just listed "gear choices".

Anyway, there's also...

1. Buoyancy
2. Trim!
3. Gas planning
4. Alternative kicks
5. Shooting SMBs
6. Dry suit techniques

Um, I suppose I could've been more general there, too, and just listed "skills".

Well, and then there's the dive site information and the occasional buddy, and so on. To put it all succinctly, I can blame ScubaBoard for *me*. Before ScubaBoard, I probably would've just been another diver, but now I'm a constant geyser of information.

Go figure, ScubaBoard turned diver-me into an extension of normal-me!
