Fun things to do while underwater

My favorite

The pure stupidity of that post had me cracking up.

After doing a dive at Eagle's nest we were doing a deco stop and there was a log laying at the stop.
One of my buddies laid down on the log and took a nap. Big mistake on his part, when we woke him to go to the next stop he found that he was securely tied to the log.

I won't say I always have the perfect dive, but on the plus side I can now say "at least they didn't tie me to a log underwater"

After beach dives my buddy and I walk past the sunbathers. While walking by them we talk about our dive. Our conversation is innocent enough but they always seem to get upset.
Why does talking about the 2 - 15' sharks we just saw just 50 yards from shore get everyone all riled up?

But I wonder, besides enjoying the wonders of the underwater world, what do you do when yo just want to have fun underwater (safely, of course)?

Conduct Discover Scuba Diving programs, Scuba Reviews, etc. Fun, and you get to help people get into - or BACK into - diving!

In fact today I was part of a program where we did Discover Snorkeling and Discover Scuba Diving programs for about 90 kids at a local summer camp. Doing roughly the same number tomorrow! Will be a week or two before you can crack the smile off those kids faces. Mine too, probably!

Around halloween, my dive group did an underwater pumpkin carving competition. Looked like fun from the pictures

my hubby likes to blow bubble rings during safety stops. which usually spawns off a slew of dive buddies all trying to do it, and mostly failing.

This is SUCH juvenile humour, but I just about drowned laughing anyways.... I was ocean diving with a close buddy (he's like having an idiot little brother with you), just after he had done his cavern course, so we were all about hand signals...

He swims frantically right up to me (facing me), and gives me the "something's wrong" hand wiggle. I look at him, and he is pointing his finger straight at me - like a kid pretending they have a gun - which I immediately understand, as the two of us are apparently sharing a brain.

It is the universal sign for "pull my finger".

So I pull his finger...........

We are trimmed out perfectly horizontally, and he has his octo ready, bum tilted up a bit, octo held down low, and releases some air. Which, of course, being air, follow the quickest route to the surface, which happens to be.... yup, looked like the world's biggest underwater fart.

Seriously, I almost drowned. And, of course, since we are mature adults, we now demonstrate this for others if the safety stop is a little boring...

The truth behind the popularity of the long hose primary bungeed back-up rig finally comes out. . .

Going upside-down ice skiing is great fun . . . and a sure way to piss off your surface team.

Just swim out to the max length of the rope, give the 3-tug emergency signal, brace your feet on the bottom of the ice, and take off ...

I love the fart and ice skiing.

Once somebody starts, like sheep, everyone is trying it.

Hunting for easter eggs is fun.
