Seems to me that you already have. Since you're already here, then, let me be the first to say "Welcome!" :biggrin:
I'll second it, Welcome.

I want to be a DORK diver too!!
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! THE PIXELS!!! THE HORRIBLE PIXELS!!!
Um... sorry about that. I just picked up my first contacts in a decade. (I wore contacts for part of my final year of high school, but my self-image wears glasses, so I didn't really like them.) Anyway, in order to use a better mask, and in order to be able to see above and below the water at all times when I'm assisting with classes and checkout dives, I've decided to be a part-time user of daily disposable contacts. (That way I don't have to care for them, and if I lose one I don't have to care, since I would've thrown it away at the end of the day, anyway.)
Anyway, I'm -4 left and -4.25 right, so there's a significant image reduction factor when I'm wearing glasses that isn't there when wearing contacts (due to the geometry of the optics). Suddenly, I find myself in a significantly larger world. Everything on my desk is *huge* now, including the monitor, and without all the dirt and scratches on my old glasses, I can see clearly enough to see the *pixels*... which is slightly unsettling. I'm going to have to get used to this. :biggrin:
Oh, wait... I'm in a thread... sorry about that digression... Anyway, um, welcome to Dork Diving, Love.
As I understand it, the only requirement to become a Dork Diver is to be a diver and want to be a Dork Diver. If you're not a diver yet, you can only become a "provisional" Dork Diver while you're waiting (the provisional drops as soon as you're certified), but that's just a trivial distinction (and if the word "provisional" wasn't so much fun, we might not even bother).
Of course, there are a few more requirements to *remain* a Dork Diver. You must dive safely -- if you don't, you won't be able to keep diving, especially if you're dead. :biggrin: Oh, and you must not be a jerk to people, but if you're a Dork Diver, you wouldn't be anyway. (If the meds make you do it, um... get well soon?)

Wow... way to scare of the newly dorked, Clay!
Anyway- it takes a certain kind of diver to admit to wanting to be a dork. There are other dorks out there who dive (Steve_Dives for example- just seeing if you're reading this...) but who haven't come to a place in their life where they can embrace the lure of official Dork Diver status.
So sad (ha ha- ISOSAD- get it? get it?).
