Duh... where do some people get their brains?

There have been times when I wanted to swap spit with my dive master...I wish I had thought of the out of air idea....


In Belize I was laying down in between and my dive master put a dead sardine on my chest. I squealed and literally launched/flipped myself up so loudly 3 docks in either direction stopped what they were doing and joined my father and dive master in laughing hysterically....the groupers wouldn't leave me alone during the second dive EITHER!!!

I'll swap spit wit ya... : )

Sanitizing things is for appearance. Didn't you then get in a pool and swap regulators with people underwater? If you didn't, then you missed a major skill that all agencies teach - air sharing... and believe me, those regs were just in someone elses mouth... lets think people - lets think...

Sanitizing things is to, er, sanitize them...

But you're right about sharing regs in a chlorinated pool. Why do they chlorinate the pool again? Right, cause it smells so darn good!

People! Settle down...

They chlorinate it to kill germs... however some fiesty germs can survive for a brief period of time in chlorinated water (ask a doctor)... such as the time it takes to get your regulator into your partners mouth. The chlorinatiion in the pool does help to suppress the smell of all the unrine in it... but never the less, it is still likely you gulp other peoples urine anytime you're in a public pool. How many people do you think make it through a three hour pool session without peeing in the pool? Few if any... so out of a class of 10 - 12 people ... that's a lot of urine, spit and everything else in the water... REALITY CHECK.... if these things were that bad for you... there wouldn't be swimming pools... the government would have shut them all down years ago.

Yup, like I said it's MY problem.

I'M a buzzkill.

Let's just say that given a choice I'll choose to minimize the exposure if I can. Otherwise...here's to spittin'!

And that is not counting what the FISH do in the ocean and in the lake. They pee, poop and have sex in there!
