Mrs.Prages:
When you find yourself using dive signs to communicate with your dive buddy on the other motorcycle.
It's true, it's true. I hadn't thought of that one. :)
 
When your non-diving spouse brings you the bad news that he/she has to work extra on the weekend and, after making the appropriate and supportive "Gee honey, I'm so sorry, " sounds, the little voices in your head are screaming, "Oh boy, I'm going beach diving until I can't see straight.....YES!!!!"
And I'm deeply in love with my dear non-diving spouse! But diving is...well....addictive!
 
You and your wife discuss starting a familly, but do so around a diving vacation and so as to minimise the disruption to the next diving season.
 
* You check in to a Hotel/Motel and ask "where's the Pool" and you look on the map and see how far it is from the room and the parking lot.

*You start watching the History channel and the Underwater Detectives, and dream about diving that site, even though its not possible. Yet..

* You show your Non Diving buddies and coworkers about your last weekend with pictures posted on SB.

* You attend classes at your LDS wearing your ScubaBoard shirt and post stickers everywhere...
 
When half of your "home office" has now turned into a small LDS with all your dive gear hanging on the wall.

When you have a drysuit, a 7mm, 3mm shortie and 3mm full wetsuit. 3 pairs of jet fins (one going on eBay) 2 backplates (one S.S., one AL) 2 sets of regs, 3 tanks, 2 masks etc. etc. but you're still riding your motorcycle with bald tires and too cheap to get a haircut :)
 
When you feel the need to make diving signals to anyone you see with a diving sticker on their car.

When you knock on someone's door that you have never seen or spoken to, because you saw a dive sticker on their car.

I have been doing that very thing all morning - Does this make me an addict?!?!?
 
Yes. especially if your sitting here like I am reading while at work...... But this is a good thing...
 
- on the phone: "cough, cough..... uhhh boss can I take the day off, I feel terrible, I feel like diving... uhhhh oops dying" (And you do this every weekend.)

- you try to covince your boss to go diving so there will always be weekend dives and costs will go to company expenses. (I did this once, it worked)
