Let's not forget "bungied wings have more/less drag than unbungied wings, and this difference is noticeable, especially when you have doubles, multiple stages & a dry suit on"

If you have a compass on you, you won't get lost.

When wearing a wetsuit, a thin layer of water forms between your body and the suit. Your body will warm up this layer, and this is what keeps you warm. Not the thermal insulating properties of the neoprene.

Heard some great one todays....
Technical divers wear their regulator on a necklace in case they drop it it won't go far.
It's good to be over weighted.
Uncontrolled ascents are a sign that you are underweighted. You need to add even more weight.
Sigh...

Not a scuba Snope but.. My sister got nitrogen in her tires, and thought they would explode if she put air in them after that.

Per post on expensive regulators for cold water. Poster said his cheap reg never freezes.
Correlation (or lack there of) is not Causation (or lack there of). There are certain regulators (e.g. ScubaPro MK 17) which are sealed and designed well for cold fresh water diving (i.e. < 35 deg C) and they will be less likely to freeze up. There are also certain cold water practices that you can use to prevent a freezing regulator (e.g. not breathing it on the surface).

Gear bought over the internet from one of "those" stores will [insert favorite word - such as kill, maim, debilitate, make you a worse diver, etc, etc] you.
No debating the merits of a LDS to online, but truth be told? I'm still alive.

Everyone pees in their wetsuits, and it rinses out while in the water. I worked at a dive shop enough years to know those are not true.
