Rinsing regulators

[H2Andy]

Would you eat that dinner?

yeah, no sweat. there's more filth on my hands and nails than there is on that
plate (even after being so dunked)

you are far more likely to get sick on the airplane ride to and from the vacation.
the airplane's closed ventilation system (and air filters) are breeding grounds for
bacteria and disease (and the airline's best kept dirty secret).

You never dove off a boat in seawater then come back to port and rinse your gear in the pee filled rinse tanks? You don't know what you're missing.

Do you rinse your reg in the rinse tank after a dive? All the gear is rinsed in the tank, fins, mask, bc and, ahem, wetsuits. We all know what happens in wetsuits on dives when your bladder is filled with all the water and juice we hydrate with prior to diving. So, sorry to be indelicate, we are rinsing our regs, second stage that goes in your mouths, with pee laden wetsuits? yuck. Yeah, yeah, you never pee in your suit. Sure. Is that sanitary. Isn't that a health issue?

Not only is it a health issue, but when my girlfriend came home from a month long dive trip we found she got PREGNANT by doing that. I couldn't believe it but she swore it was true.

Thought experiment for everyone:

Collect ten pairs of underwear from your coworkers at 5 pm. Take them home, soak them in a bucket of water for 10 minutes, then put a dinner plate and fork in the bucket.

Remove the plate and fork, and slap your dinner on.

Would you eat that dinner? If not, why is it OK to suck on something similar if you happen to be on a boat? What if you knew one of your coworkers had herpes or hepatitis? What if you *didn't know* what they might have?

That's my point. GROSS! YUCK, EEK, EEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

OK, here's the deal. Everyone flies on those bacteria contaminated planes, gets all the germs in their system and then pees in their wetsuits that get rinsed in the tank that you soak your reg in. See? barf

you know, it's a miracle any diver survives a vacation, with the airplane ride
and the pee in the dunk tank, not to mention immaculate conceptions...

we should all be dead (and/or pregnant)

:11:

in fact, i'd like to run a poll to see how many of the posters in this thread
are in fact dead from disease right now!

What difference does it make if you wash your hands before, or after, peeing in your wetsuit that gets rinsed in the tank with my reg? I'm getting ill :11:
