Canteen Worker: No, the food is hot. You'll need a tray to put the food on.
Darth Vader: Oh, I see the food is hot. I'm sorry. I did not realise. Ha ha ha ha … oh … tray for the … yes. I thought you were challenging me for the fight to the death

So the trick would be to coordinate a bunch of divers who are crossing the century marks on their dives. Doesn't matter whether its 100, 200, etc, just as long as you're crossing the century mark.
We could all go to Bonaire and dive naked at the site with the underwater Internet camera!!!!! Now that would probably make the evening news around the world.
While I enjoy the company and comments of those I have met and spoken to on this board, I have serious doubts about a group of us naked being anything less than hideous.

ABSOLUTELY!!!!!! What a riot!
My wife and I have spent many vegetative, relaxing, Eden-like hours at the local "sun club" and know there's no such thing as perfection when it comes to the human body in the "real" world. We ended up there the same way the first poster in this thread ended up in the water nude on his 100th dive.....we asked "why not?!" Get a bunch of people nekkid together and they quickly forget about their body issues.
But you gotta admit, it would be a "memorable" sight to see a group of nude divers approaching that Bonaire underwater Internet camera holding a sign that said "Century Club Divers - No Clothing Allowed."
Keep the tradition alive!

well firstly well done! However, as good as 'swimming free' feels, to me as a guy, 'fish bait' comig to mind is too much of a fear! especially with any trigger fish around!!!
Once, I felt something lurking around my inner thigh which at first gave me a bit more than a slight concern, until I realised it was only a remora! thank goodness.
