Question. I love tech. I love deep, and I love caves. And gear. And all the rest of it. I have, however, done the following:
#1. Used my HID as a light-saber during a sinkhole dive.
#2. Done the chicken dance at a safety stop. More than once.
Does this count?
Absolutely! Welcome to our little band of mischief makers.

When I figure out how to ride my Harley underwater, the world may never see me again. Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving in a pretty, pristine body but rather to come sliding in sideways, all used up and exclaiming, "Wow, what a ride!"
A friend will help you move, a good friend will help you move a body
Well I never considered myself cool and certainly not a dork, but after reading this thread I find I have been living under a misapprehension for a very long time.
I now proudly stand up and declare myself a dork diver.

The last rental gear I borrowed: the boots were delaminating, the wet suit had a hole, the fins were 2 different sizes (so had to wear one cotton sock).
But gosh that harlequin & ghost pipe fish were beautiful, so was that coconut octopus, tons of frog fish, sea horses, zillions of scorpion and lion fish, etc, etc, etc.
I especially liked the part about being nice to boat staff & being environmentally conscious.
I think this makes me a dork too? Ahhh, suddenly I don't feel so alone!

Oh I want to belong but forgot how to have fun to much work not enough fun makes for a dull boy help please :(
Dale,
The first step towards recovery is admitting you have a problem. So you are half way there.
Now chant with me: I'm a a wonderful .
Have fun and don't worry about work. We just started sending my work to China. I've learnt a new word DELEGATE. I have DELEGATED half my work to people in China. I figure there is so much work to go around it will take them a few years before the people in China will make me obsolete. By then I hope to be management then I can DELEGATE all the work to them.
Wait a minute....All we have to do is have fun and not bash other people to be a dork diver? I don't need specific gear or an attitude like I'm still in the Army? I would like to join this organization please. Do you guys still offer cards?

Sounds like you've pretty much got the hang of it already.
