You know you're addicted to scuba diving when:

[themagni]

When you turn on the kitchen sink valve full open, then close it half a turn

Actually, all shut-off valves in your house should be fully opened then closed a 1/4 - 1/2 turn.

The reason is that in 2 years when your toilet starts overflowing, the shutoff isn't stuck all the way open after the washers expand and the metal corrodes. You don't want to race for a wrench when there's sewage pouring onto the bathroom floor.

To stay on topic, I would say:

when your kids ask to use your snorkel in the tub.

when your kids say, "Daddy! You haven't gone diving for a LONG TIME!"

when your kids ask to use your snorkel in the tub.

Or when you ask to use your child's snorkel in the tub

(my favorite, which someone else first posted in another, older, similar thread: )

-when you're standing around on dry land with your friends and have to remember to stop yourself from just peeing when you feel like it.... (I may be paraphrasing)...

How about when you remodel your house, all thought goes into carrying in, rinsing, and storing gear.

Yes, I really did this, and yes I built closets and rooms just for dive gear.

When it's 1:34am and you're still reading dive tips on scuba board!

How about:

... when you start saltwater aquariums so that you can pretend you're underwater even if you aren't.

I do not remember exactly how it went (someone please correct me) but the best one of these "You know you are addicted to Scuba when......":

You walk up to the cashier with a package of 'D' cell batteries and KY jelly and think there is nothing funny about it.

It is my fav as well, I think it goes like...

you are standing online at the drug store with a pack of C cells and a tube of KY and you are the only one thinking of a flashlight and drysuit seals.

You take the Tank Visual Inspection course because you own so many tanks it's cheaper to inspect them yourself than to give $10 per tank to the local shop.

How about this... You know you are addicted to scuba diving when you step into a puddle and automatically pinch your nose and start equalizing.
