Stupid things you've done while diving?
« on: April 08, 2007, 07:01:00 PM »
We've all had blonde moments, yeah even you men!!!
 
 Lets hear about your stupid diving mistakes that leave you wondering "what was I thinking?!"     :D ), but one thing I did on the day of my final OW certification dive was to lose my mask.  
 
 We were doing a shore dive and we were kitting up in the water.  I had my mask wrapped around my wrist and putting my fins on.
 
 When it came time to put my mask on I realized I no longer had one    :D
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

well, I've got a few of those moments under my belt, but most recently was in Curacao, after getting back on the boat after the dive, I got my Scuba unit off, and I was helping some of the others get back on which was a bit of a task due to the rougher waters, so there's me  on the platform on the back of the of the boat, accepting fins, helping haul the divers onto the boat when the dive master taps me on the shoulder and says "I'll take your weight belt for you, so that we don't have to come down and get you if you fall in"  
 
   :duh:  
 
 Note to self, weight belt off before hanging off the back of the boat with no BCD on.

I'm sure Johnny Castaway rembers My blondest moment... 

 We're heading into the water, down in Cozumel, and I'm on the back of the boat, ready to jumpoff...  Into the water I go... Splash, I'm in the water, and bob back to the surface...

I turn to John and ask... "Oh, Will you turn my air on for me?!"

:duh:
