What are 10 commandments of diving?

[MyDiveLog]

If Moses had descended from the mountain with two tablets that contained commandments for diving, what would they be?

Some are obvious: Never hold your breath. Plan your dive and dive your plan. What about the other 8?

He'd be coming down on a Segway with his PDA.

8) Bring enough for everybody (how can you expect me to share air if you won't share beer?)

7) Do NOT use silicone sealant on your moustache to seal your mask.

 

[The Kraken]

Thou shalt not hold thy weight belt up by the buckle.

 

[GrierHPharmD]

This is thy wetsuit, in which thou art well pleased. In it thou shall do no pee. Neither thou, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy ox, nor thy ***, nor any sojourner to whom thou mayest loan thy wetsuit.

For the Makers of thy wetsuit hath made thy wetsuit of neoprene, and it stinketh greatly under the sun when full of pee.

A generation cometh, a generation goeth, but the stench of thy urine endureth forever.

 

[crpntr133]

thou shalt not use thine inflator button as a lift (elevator) button.

thou shalt not make fun of the DIR divers.


mccabejc, that was a good thread about silicone wasn't it?

 

[FreeFloat]

Thou shalt not stir up the silt and reduce the viz for thy buddies for miles around

Thou shalt not swim with thy hands while wearing perfectly adequate fins.

Some people call me Maurice. 'Cause I speak of the pompitous of love...

By the way, GrierHPharmD, I notice your sig line has a little Stevie Miller. Did you know that the term "pompitous" in that same song was a nonsense word he took a song called "The Letter" by member of the Medallions named Vernon Green. The lyrics of "The Letter" refer to "pulpitudes" (maybe his best shot at "pulchritude"). According to Green it was "A term I coined to mean a secret paper-doll fantasy figure [thus puppet], who would be my everything and bear my children."

See? These are the kinds of things that make the internet so useful.

Now, let's see...what does "el salchichon que zambulle" mean? "A salchichon that plunges"????

 

[Seabear70]

Thou shalt not pretend to run to the bathrom while leaving the bar tab with your buddies, or they will be angry dive buddies and pee in your regulator.
