...you suck on your regulator when driving through a heavy rainstorm.

...you teach your 3-year old to do a giant stride entry into the inflatable kiddie pool.

...you have a bumper sticker that says "My other vehicle is a Nautilus submersible" or "Apollo DV-1 Scooter"

...you have a bummper sticker that says "My child is a PADI/NAUI Honor Student"
 
This happened to me yesterday.

When you drive throught the mountains and while going up and down the hills you wonder how you would calculate this as a multi level dive and if it will effect your NDL's the next day.

... When the fish give you the fins up siganl

... your truck has been towed away

... you can quote from the operators manual for LUN003 a OUT007 and a SRB5600

...your airfill card is confetti

 
When you have to move to a two bedroom apartment..just to have a special "dive room"..and all the gear STILL doesn't fit, and has to sit in the middle of the living room..including the BOAT! *grrrrr*
 
You get in the shower and after getting out of the shower you dry your hands and automatically start looking for a pen and your log book.....

You are in the hot tub, and after getting out you pull out your old manuals to look at the section on NDL dives in hottubs....

You are going to have a 10x50' pool put in the back yard and the day they dig the hole you come home to inspect it and are pissed to find it is 10' wide by 50'long and you cuss out the pool company like they are idiots, they should know you meant 10' x 10' x 50' deep! DUH!!!!

When you are cleaning out your 200 gallon saltwater aquarium you have on your dive gear and are snapping pictures with your Sea & Sea MX 10 and strobe of you next to the clown fish.

When you have your kids party and the clown brings a helium tank for the balloons and you wonder how much pressure that 6 foot cylinder will hold.

When you do your budget and realize that your scuba magazine bills are more than your car payments (Tell me ID has this happened yet?)

When you get up after a nightmare and splash water on your face and you realize you forgot to put on defog and you cant see if you rinsed your mask right...

When you ask your opthamologist if there is any solution that will keep your contacts in place if your mask floods and you don't want to close your eyes.

When you agree to drive your pals to lunch and you have to take 15 minutes before lunch moving scuba gear around to find seating spaces for them in your car.

That should be a good start for the list....



 
.... You take your computer into the shower, and still have to do a decompression stop

.... You've forgotten how to talk to your family....unless they use a tank banger and then sign what they want.

.... You figure that rather than buying both glasses/contact and a Prescription mask, you just buy the mask and where it everywhere.

.... You hit the "emergency stop" button on the elevator so you can finish your 3-min safety stop

... when a awesome member of the opposite sex says "lets get tanked, then get all sweaty and wet" you pull out your C-card

 
When you release "stomach gas" below, and care more about it's bouyancy effects than what other people think...
 
...........your best suit in the closet is made of neoprene and comes with matching hood, boots and gloves.........

...........your most favorite computer is not controlled by Bill Gates................
