What have you done to impress your buddies?

What have I done?
Last week in the pool in my drysuit we were practicing removal of the drysuit inflater hose - well, we'd done this a couple of times and I saw one of them pointing towards my weightbelt - yup I did it in 2.5 meters in a drysuit I took off my weightbelt and the laws of physics took over - Songs like Climb Every mountain started firing in my brain as I looked below to see 5 divers cracked up laughing on the bottom. Yup, they were impressed and I doubt I'll ever hear the end of it! They waited till the last 3 minutes before we had to get out to remind me of how impressive my rendition of Rocket Man truely was ..... I think it's gonna be a long long time .....

My regular buddy tends to get seasick. He finds it quite impressive that I can eat lunch during our SI.

Then there was the time I did some synchonised swimming with a dolphin!

I once donated my long hose to a buddy befor he had a chance to signal me low on air after checking his pressure gauge. He was pretty impressed at the time.

I'm not there to impress anyone. Diving is a recreational sport that you should enjoy and do it safely. Perhaps the question can be worded differently.

I found my buddies anchor and line, that I had managed to loose the week before. I don't know who was more impressed though, him for me finding it(piece of cake) or me for finding it and not having to buy him another one, to the tune of $400.

I was diving with a buddy that I had never dove with before, a little ways into the dive I notice him stuggling with staying neutral, not enough weight. I look a round find a decent size rock and hand it over. I get a very strange look at first and then I see a big smile and a major thank you back on the surface.
