I've heard the same. Not that I'm superstitious (yeah, right...LOL):reaper:

I've always held that it's bad luck to be supersititious...

It's not bad luck to change the name of a boat that you're buying used. It's actually traditional to rename a previously-owned vessel so you can imbue it with your own juju and not carryover any negative vibes from the previous owners.
I've never changed the name of a boat that I already owned though. I don't mess with that karma.

good dive names:

Rapture
Narcosis
Sea Turkey II (no kidding, the previous owner named it that, and the guy who bought
it didn't change it.)

But do the appropriate ceremony.

For a dive boat, I like:

"Gurgle"
"Hoof Hearted" (actually nothing to do with diving, I just think that's a hilarious name
"Safety Stop"
"DIFW" (for Doing it F! Wrong)
"Wonka Diver"
"Undeserved Hit"
"Making Bubbles"
"Tank Hawg"

All I could come up with on short notice...

"Deep Penetration"

You should see some of the looks we get usually from women.. We usually get them to turn a deep embarrising red, when we say this is a dive boat What are YOU thinking of?
