Ten minutes after watching an episode of "Sea Hunt" you find yourself geared up and in your hot tub.

I am assuming you mean the Sea Hunt DVDs. Or, is Sea Hunt being shown on TV somewhere?
 
Looking up and realizing that you have been towing your dive flag fifteen feet below the surface.

Leaving your Lexus in the driverway because you need the garage for all your dive gear. (Real divers can't afford a Lexus)

Augering your scooter into the seabed after doing barrel rolls in three feet of water.

Not being able to toss out that set of keys that you found in the old millpond fifteen years ago.

The reason why you are 41 years old and still living with your parents: Your main occupation- Dive Instructor.

Your house is cluttered and you are torn between throwing out all your porno magazines or your dive magazines.

You drive twelve hours to Homstead Crater Utah, dive it, turn around and drive all the way back home. And it was WORTH IT!

The only time in ten years you ever unsheathed you dive knife was when you broke the tab on a beer can.
 
When you think that people who plan a surface vacation are missing the point.

Addictive.

When you tell the airline attendant "DON'T LOSE THAT BAG, if you have to lose one, lose the other one" because you really can live without clothes and toothpaste, but your dive gear is sacred.

When the above line made your skin crawl. Who would check their gear?

When you fart and wonder how much air you would put in your BC/wing to compensate for the equivalent loss of gas. 1/4 second? 1/2 second?

LOL! I've burped and lost my neutral bouyancy before!

When you dump plans that you’ve had for years for visiting other countries. Now all you want are places where you can scuba dive.

You daydream about scuba diving at every opportunity

When you roll off the bed at ridiculously early hours to go scuba diving and you don’t mind at all

When you’re feeling absolutely miserable, and you know that you have a dive coming up, it’ll perk you right up.

When your paycheck is coming up, and all you care is that it’s enough for your boat trips and more. Who cares about essentials?

When for years, you’ve wanted to move to another city, but upon learning scuba diving, you suddenly see the lure of living in LA. Scuba diving galore all year round!

When you know that if you do get married (if ever), you can’t marry a non-scuba diver. He has to know scuba diving!

When it’s given you something beyond more than you ever realized that you’d get out of it, you’re grateful that you’ve learned it at all regardless of when, and you look forward to the rest of your life of doing it.
 
When adding up the cost of your dive gear exceeds the average annual income of most of the nations you dive in.

When you get up earlier on vacation than at home to make the morning boat, and never think twice about it.

When you consider swimming and sunbathing to be "surface interval activities" not worthy of non SI time.

When you watch movies that have diving in them and ignore the parts of the film that are filmed on land.

When you rewatch PADI instructional videos just to see underwater footage.

When you find that you like Enya because it goes with your dive videos.

When you measure the price of a non-related item with how many dives it cost you.
