you try to spend a Saturday NOT diving, but can't remember what it was, other than your undergarments, that you wear on weekends.

....you can't see enough underwater movies or underwater footage.

...you watch underwater footage and get pissed off when you hear music instead of breathing.

You go to move the car from the garage for the first time in a while and you have to move the tanks from behind it and take the wetsuits from ontop and the spare regulators off the trunk and you look in the gear lockers and there is no room to put the gear away.
Also, when you get an extimate for a new roof on the house and you instantly convert that into the cost of two new scooters. The roof leaks but you really want those scooters.
When you buy a house in S. Fla. on a canal, with a dock, with a 12k lb lift, with ocean access, with a hot tub, with a two car garage (complete with the black and white checkered flooring), with a storage shed, and you are not eligible to retire for 3 and a half more years, but you son can live there and take care of the house, and you are back to watching every penny because you now own two houses in Florida, because your ultimate goal in life is to now become the consummate dive bum.

I practice making dive trip reservations on Travelocity (and Orbitz, and US Airways Vacations...) just to keep my skills sharp. Never know when you might need to make complete reservations at the best possible price in less than 5 minutes.
Good diving, Craig

When you are able to be still in the water and find yourself thinking "this is where I belong".

when your to young to need to wear a condom catheter for their intended reason but find yourself buying them in boxes of 100 and giving others advise on their use.
When your dive gear exceeds the value of your vehicle(s).
when you go to the local hardware store and accidentally call it a dive shop.
when people call you for gear instead of a dive shop.
when you are underwater and can only see about 2 feet in front of you but your still happy and relaxed.
when seeing vehicles and boats in the junk yard or in parking lots or in peoples driveways makes you start thinking about stealing them so they can be sunk and turned into the next local dive attraction.
when you start grocery shopping for items to feed to fish and dont end up buying anything for yourself.
when you own more tanks than a person can legally transport at one time on the HWY.
when entire rooms in your house are dedicated to diving or when entire garages/sheds are erected specifically to hold dive gear.
when you have 2 years salary in credit card debt but think about spending your tax return on a $1500 light.

You really know your a diver (aka Addicted), when:
Your first websearch is always "gills".
In hopes that someone somewhere
has developed means to have them
surgically installed.
Go ahead, lie to yourself and say that I'm the only one.
