your bcd and wetsuit never dry out.

..... Your next vehicle purchase is directly related to how much gear you haul

You Know You are a Diver When...
Scuba Equiment is all you see in a 2 car garage.
Monday morning you are recruiting dive buddies for the weekend dives.
Calling the wife to tell her you just received the lastest Scuba Magazine.
Your car floor mats has the Diver's Emblem.
All your bath towels are diving related.
Your mail box is painting in Red and a White stripe.

All your bath towels are diving related.

My buddy Jeff gave Merry and me towels for a Christmas dive two years ago.

If your neck feels warm, that is my seething hatred and jealousy. Don't worry, it will clear up in six or seven decades.

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.

When you'd rather see your wife in neoprene than in a skimpy and revealing bikini.

And when the smell of the wetsuit hanging in the corner in your room has taken the place of your Viagra.

When you buy all your hair care products based on how well they protect against saltwater!

 

[IceIce]

When there is no place and time for other/city holiday.

When the last diving day is the saddest day.

When you always minus the trip with 24 hours.

When you drool on your desktop looking at diving pictures.

When 'divesick' actually hurts.

When you start making nudibranch out of clay and take picture of it.

When imagining going down at every body of water.

When nondivers are nerds...

ID say when your idea of rinsing your gear is to leave it on and walk under a shower head.

Then again Id also say when you got 2 cars. One for work and the other is strictly for scuba which its always packed and ready for the emergency call of a diver in need of a dive buddy!

 

[guamguy]

When you turn the shower on, you open the tap all the way and then twist it half a turn back.

(I do)

Holy crap!!! I just watched myself do this without thinking about it on the garden hose!!!
