Scuba Music (Songs, Artists, Albums that embody diving & diving culture)
If you were to make an ultimate "dive mix" of songs that to you embody diving and the diving culture, what would be some of the artists, albums and specific songs you would add? The kind of stuff you and your buddy would play to pump yourselves up, or put yourself in the mood as you drive to your favorite dive site or to meet your charter for a sweet dive.
Wow, that's a tough one!!!
The only thing that comes to mind is "Hi, Calypso" by John Denver.
But I guess there is the sound track from the James Bond movie "Thunderball".

Tons of instrumentals run through my head as I dive. I can't shake Gamma's Solar Heat or DT's Hell's Kitchen of late. There's lots of others.
As you can tell, the generally acceptable water and boat music (Jack Johnson, Buffet, etc.) don't make the rotation. Just not my scene.
Southern Cross - excellent boat music. THE best song they did at CES a couple of years ago. Unreal show. Stephen is a genius.
I am haunted by music when I dive. Dive buddies are simply haunted by my incessent tapping and pounding on everything in sight...
