Just darn phunny Diving definitions...!
I found these while swimming around the Web looking for phunny dive t-shirts...These are great...
(Hey , at least I think so , but my sense of humor , oh well... :-[) I do love one about The Secret of Diving at the bottom... And I bet the PURGE definition has been used on those Wed night Square lake dives after brats...YUCK :o Jean MASK- Storage container for sea water samples until you reach the surface. FINS- Torture device invented during the Spanish Inquisition. SNORKEL- Breathing tube used to suck in seawater and insects while on the surface. WET SUIT- Exactly what a diver does when the cold and caffeine kick in. DRY SUIT- Glorified inner tube and just about as comfortable. CHECK OUT DIVE- Great opportunity to experience first hand: A. hypothermia B. Fear C. Stupidity D. All of the Above NARCOSIS- Does that cost extra? 2nd Stage- Not a theater term. DEEP DIVE- Depths greater than you find in your bathtub. SPARE AIR- The air left in your buddies' tank. BOAT DIVING- A complex task because boats usually don't dive. WRECK DIVER- What you become after running out of air at 100ft. EMBOLISM- A BAD THING! OCTOPUS- Large eight legged sea creature which attaches to your face at inopportune moments. B.C.- The extra flotation you gain after many holiday meals. C CARD- "And they don't take American Express." SHARK- Bottom feeding, cannibalistic, spineless, invertebrate (sure it's redundant), often found in courtrooms, newsrooms, and car lots. GIANT STRIDE- An acrobatic maneuver so called because of the 15 foot drop to the water which occurs when the boat rolls to port while you are exiting the starboard side. BUDDY BREATHING- An often impossible task because your buddy has long ago left your side in search of the bikini clad, web-footed, neoprene fish. BUDDY DIVING- "Same day, same ocean- we must be buddies." "PLAN YOUR DIVE< DIVE YOUR PLAN."- It's like a diving safety mantra only different. FREE ASCENT- A blazing rush to the surface at about warp 8.2. BLOWN OUT- Don't even think about those words. 1/3 RULE- Use 1/3 of the day thinking about throwing up, 1/3 of the day actually throwing up, 1/3 of the day being glad you threw up. REPETITIVE DIVE- "We're going to quarry again?" DIVE TABLES- A complex chart using numbers and mysterious signs created to scramble a divers already overtaxed intellect. ECO-DIVER- Short for E-Coli (bacteria found on third world dive trips). TECHNICAL DIVING- "I could tell you but I'd have to kill you." MAX DEPTH- Your actual depth minus 50ft. Used when describing your dive profile to the dive instructor. DIVE COMPUTER- A $700 addition to your weight belt. V.I.P.- "Virtually Impossible to Peer inside a tank." NITROX- See Technical Diving. BOTTOM TIME- Time spent sitting on the narrow, uncomfortable bench on the way to the dive site. PURGE- The button you push to get rid of the chili-dog you belched into the regulator. NEWBEE DIVER- "Okay, the doohickey attaches to the whats-it?" TUB DIVER- Specialist in off season, shallow, freshwater dives. HYDRO- A monster which feeds on Luxfer aluminum 80's. FLOOD- What your sinuses do to your mask. BUOYANCY CONTROL- The art of not cratering the bottom or rocketing past mean sea level. DIVE LIGHT- A waterproof carrying case for dead batteries. GEAR BAG- Storage device for sand, shells, old sandwiches, mildewed T-shirts, and stowaway sea critters. DIVE KNIFE- An underwater magnet for rust that in an emergency won't cut through hot butter. THE SECRET OF DIVING- Inhale, exhale, repeat as necessary
