You know you're a real diver when....

You know your a real diver when the airline workers knows you with out checking your ID.

You know your a real diver when you can goto sleep and drive to your favorite dive spot.

You know your a real diver when your more confie in the water than on land.

You know you're a real diver when everytime you see a ship you think why don't they just sink it, that would be a cool wreck dive.

ScubaKat, I knew someone would ask. Because is a half redneck thing also makes the Warhammer manuver much easier.
Bare A$$ Dive.

 

[TwoBitTxn]

use old regulator mouthpieces as pacifiers

Walk hunchbacked from schlepping tanks and bc's

Real swamp divers see every body of water (size doesn't matter) as a potential dive

first thought on pay day is ...." what new peice of dive gear do I need this week? "

....When all of your real good friends are also divers.

....You'll drive 9 hours from Dallas to Port Aransas for 1 day of diving

....your tan lines are where the shorty wetsuit left off

....you and your buddy are in a dive gear arms race.

 

[Ontario Diver]

All of the above makes sense....

You know you are a real diver when...

Your wetsuit is so repugnant that one can smell it 30 feet away and people are moving to safer ground.

or

While you are diving, the fish are trailing closely due to your wetsuit disentigrating.

Cheers

- (This one mostly for the ladies)
you rather go shopping for dive equipment than clothes and make up

- you get withdrawel symthoms if you don't get under pressure ever so often

- you first requirement for a new home is a place to clean and store your dive gear

- when all your stories start with: "Now, on this dive I once was on..."

You resist the urge to post your "deepest depth" statistics ;-)

 

[The Chairman]

You go outside at night and bring back-up flash lights...

You join ATA (Air Tanks Anonymous)...

You involuntarily do the Valsalva manuever when you take a shower or a bath...

You apply Antifog to your windsheild, rather than using defrost...

You stop your car to check how much air is in your tires... often!

You put your mask on just to get that "right perspective" on things...

You finally figure out that your chinos are being held up by your weight belt...

At the end of the day you signal the "OK" sign to your mate, instead of asking them how their day was...

They actually signal back...

And that's fine with the both of you...

When you come into a room you pop your hands to get your kid's attention...

You refer to the time between love making as a "surface interval"...
