Does anyone have any neat tricks or things that they do for fun when they dive? (Such as lay on the bottom and blow bubble rings?)
I like taking all of my gear off in a spring and then surfacing, and then coming back down and putting it all back on again. (I will admit....it makes me feel cool. Dang, I'm such a dork.)

I hope you are leaving everything down there and turning the tank off, otherwise it just wouldn't be cool.
I attract blue gills...hundreds of blue gills. They must smell the tortilla chips in my bubbles since they leave my buddy alone.
If I go near one of the platforms, they converge on me. Then they'll follow me around til I get out of the water. If I stop, they bite my hair, mask, and ears.
I like to "break dance" on the platforms. I keep my arms crossed in front of my chest and use my legs and head/body position and breathing to do different spins (head spins, back spins, etc) while trying to stay within 12 inches of the platform without touching it.

Not in the water, but saw(@ Little Cayman with Reef Diver's) an orange then an apple kept 'rolling' in mid air by an extra tank with the air on high(just set the fruit above the valve & get it going)......need little SI entertainment.....They(DN's) said it will eventually peel the fruit if left long enough......have a short video of it & will try to upload it in a day or 2......

In a wetsuit yes, in my drysuit I still occasionally faceplant into the wood. It's really not that hard once you get the hang of it but if you get motion sick I definitely recommend taking something before attempting it
