Welcome to the Dork Diver Forum!

[merxlin]

Question. I love tech. I love deep, and I love caves. And gear. And all the rest of it. I have, however, done the following:

#1. Used my HID as a light-saber during a sinkhole dive.
#2. Done the chicken dance at a safety stop. More than once.

Does this count?

Absolutely! Welcome to our little band of mischief makers.

Well I never considered myself cool and certainly not a dork, but after reading this thread I find I have been living under a misapprehension for a very long time.

I now proudly stand up and declare myself a dork diver.

The last rental gear I borrowed: the boots were delaminating, the wet suit had a hole, the fins were 2 different sizes (so had to wear one cotton sock).

But gosh that harlequin & ghost pipe fish were beautiful, so was that coconut octopus, tons of frog fish, sea horses, zillions of scorpion and lion fish, etc, etc, etc.

I especially liked the part about being nice to boat staff & being environmentally conscious.

I think this makes me a dork too? Ahhh, suddenly I don't feel so alone!

Dale,

The first step towards recovery is admitting you have a problem. So you are half way there.

Now chant with me: I'm a a wonderful .

Have fun and don't worry about work. We just started sending my work to China. I've learnt a new word DELEGATE. I have DELEGATED half my work to people in China. I figure there is so much work to go around it will take them a few years before the people in China will make me obsolete. By then I hope to be management then I can DELEGATE all the work to them.

Wait a minute....All we have to do is have fun and not bash other people to be a dork diver? I don't need specific gear or an attitude like I'm still in the Army? I would like to join this organization please. Do you guys still offer cards?

Sounds like you've pretty much got the hang of it already. :biggrin:

I would like to join this organization please.

In the words of the Ig Nobel Prize ceremony opening speech, "Welcome, welcome."


(I can't speak to the cards, myself, so someone else will have to pick up there.)
