Warning to new divers

[emoreira]

In my case 10/10. Perhaps some more, but I cannot recall them.

I had a big car to transport my horse. Now I have still a big car, to transport my horse AND to transport the divegear
In my house, 1 bedroom is for myself, one for divestuff and one for horsestuff, LOL

Your horse rides in your car with you?

 

[icechip]

Yep, all apply. I find that diving works its way into a lot of my conversations that don't start off even remotely along those lines and that I'm also guilty of the "recruiting" enthusiasm.

 

[Byrdie]

All true. At least -for the most part-they are all positives

 

[DeputyDan]

I must say - the article was pretty well true.

 

[Eric Sedletzky]

All ten for me.
Plus, a pick up truck IS a piece of dive gear, it hauls all your crap.
I got a 4 wheel drive just because I MIGHT need it someday to get to a remote dive site, plus it made it easier to haul my boat out on slick launch ramps.
A lot of my backyard art involves diving themes in some way.
My spare bedroom closet is completely filled with wetsuits and as a result the room has that wonderful neoprene smell just like a dive shop.
I constantly watch the conditions and re-arrange my work schedule to suit.
I have so much gear that a guy came over once and thought I was running an underground dive shop.
I have dressed up as a scuba diver on Holloween more than once.
I've had dreams of dressing up like a frogman complete with a mask on just like the 1960's movie filmed on Catalina and walking downtown just to see what kind of looks I get.
I have a Tuna Seizure dive boat T-shirt that's signed by Richie Kohler and John Chatterton.

 

[Wet Ham]

Yep, all 10 for me too! Hilarious article - found myself nodding and grinning all the way through

 

[BigTex1836]

Yep, checked all 10.

Didn't have time to click on the link to see the list. Too busy "checking" my gear for a trip next month.

1 -3; No
4; I started diving late so it does not apply.
