You know you are hooked on diving when...

[plsander]

You look at your friend's granddaughter's new "Sea Fun Barbie" and note the orca, and the sea turtle, and the inflatable zodiac boat. Then you look at Barbie and her mask with attached snorkle, fins, and twin tanks with manifold; and start debating with your wife exactly what kind of diver Barbie is.

"Barbie dives with well streamlined gear - no dangling console."
"She's so streamlined, she does not even have regs!"
"Think there's a backplate and wing under those twin tanks?"
"They must be steel twins, she does not have a weight belt."

Barbie is the kind of diver that jumps out of her pink porsche at the dock in her bikini and heads straight to the boat to begin working on her tan as Ken unpacks the car and lugs all the gear to the boat. And the boat would have to be pink. LOL

Maybe Barbie was just lugging the gear for a diver, like a DM sometimes does and in fact had no intention of diving that day. Maybe she is a freediving support diver who drops tanks on the line for the tech divers coming up? I believe Ken is DIR though, and that might be why Barbie split from him lately to seek other divers without the attitude and the fake plastic personality. Does Barbie have other friends with dive gear (like a new Barbie team) or is she going solo? I understand she has redundancy with the doubles. What colour were her fins?

her fins? well purple of course...it is the new pink

My fins are purple. Maybe I'm Barbie!
Should I change my avatar? :winky:

Hey.. according to Mattel, Barbie dropped Ken. She's now partners with this Aussie boogie boarder guy. Ken is still around but he's now on the rainbow.

I can't believe Barbie is a diver. I may have to change sports... NOT



I just thought, maybe she is a boat hag!!!!

If Ken was DIR then was it the snorkle dangling off her mask that finally drove them apart? I always though GI Joe was a better match for her anyhow. Much better than pretty boy Ken. OMG tho - he's probably even more tech than Ken...
Barbie might think about running down to the local Toys R Us and getting her buddy Skipper some dive gear. Skipper always seemed sort of sporty....

Maybe Ken was an airhog, and Barbie got tired of coming up after only 20 minutes.
