    Rolling my eyes Can you help?

    Hypothetically, can a Brit* be a dork?

    and a if Brit can be a dork would they exhibit the following behaviour:

    1) Singing into their regulator (enunciation is not great; but the vibrato is coooool "I was born under a wandering STAARRRRRRrrrrrrr!" )
    2) Waving at the little fishies and saying hi.
    3) Counting to ten and giving the gobis a chance to hide their little crab friends
    4) spending "far too long" hanging upside down like a giant sea bat
    5) giggling when not narced
    6) Telling a cleaner wrasse that they "missed a bit" then laughing so hard used up most of remaining air
    7) just being totally and utterly amazed and overawed by the wonderful world below
    8) falling head first into a large bin filled with clean water in the loo on the boat, i.e. probably being the first person to drown ON a dive boat without having touched the sea
    9) practicing snorkel clearance in bath (tricky but possible)
    10) Having so much bloody fun that they get a tiny dive flag tattooed on their arse to celebrate.

    Whaddya think?

    BTW, any queen will do.

    Won't be as good as the Warhammer Maneuver, but at least it probably wouldn't be banned either !!

    Your Majesty!!

    Thank you so much!!



    Unfortunately I cannot furnish footage of the bath/snorkel procedure as we only have a shower cubicle at the moment.

    I do have a big bucket, however, and will have a go in that later on.
    It will probably appear to others as a pretty half-hearted suicide attempt!
    Never mind, it will give the neighbours something to use against me in the stalking case.


    Thanks for the badge of dorkdom, I shall wear it with pride!

    I want to see the tattoo in order to ensure that it meets Dork Diver's coloration standards.
