Docc is correct, as usual.

I was thinking more along the lines of "diving with a metal detector will attract sharks" but sure, we can throw 1.4 in too.

We all know that's not true... But if you pee in your wetsuit - it does attract sharks.

Don't forget everybody's favorite: If you get in the water wearing split fins you will instantly die.

You know it!!

Any clips from Home Depot or Lowes will kill you. Clips from KMart will kill you AND your buddy.

And flip flops.

And flip flops.

That's a good one!

No Howard, that's ONLY if you're diving in shark infested waters.

diving doubles will certainly kill you, too.

You have to be an experienced tech diver to use a back plate and wing.

Is the thing about LB and the goat true or is that an urban myth?
