Found this while researching urinating while diving -- don't ask -- made me smile...
3 Dive instruction groups are out on a dive boat 2 miles from shore about to come back in, when the engines break.
The NAUI students go up to their instructor and ask what to do. The NAUI instructor says, "You are to don your scuba unit, enter the water as a group, descend to 15 feet and swim to shore, ensuring that your scuba unit stays in place.
The SSI students go up to their instructor and ask what to do. The SSI instructor says, "You are to get into the water with your gear and swim at a brisk pace to shore. I expect you all to be there in 5 minutes."
The PADI students go up to their instructor and ask what to do. The PADI instructor looks at his watch then says, "If you'll wait about an hour, give me an extra $150, we can start our first wreck dive."
