The most dangerous thing about scuba is...

[haumana ronin]

Poor instruction?
Weighting/Buoyancy?
OOA?
Getting bent?
Cold water?
Freeflow?
Too much anxiety?
Unexpected BC inflation?

Nope, its driving!!! Sitting in traffic on the way to work, my mind starts drifting to websites with at all the cool gear to buy and I start analyzing the last couple dives for trim and I start imagining the next dive and then worst of all, I start browsing through these threads, and I don't even have a mobile device!!

What a dangerous sport!


At least I don't talk about it on my cell phone behind the wheel.

Yes, the MOST dangerous part of diving is the catalogs...these days, the gear websites.

have been...and I do....

Buying six of everything now, so in twenty years you are able
to dive the three and a half classic pieces you have left intact.

Quite frugal if not difficult purchase requirement.


Steadfast patience may be the key.

A reluctant yet frugal compromise is "two, buy two."

Not having an umbilical connecting you to the surface

My non-diving husband calls the catalogs and gear sites "scuba porn".

Nope...the most dangerous thing is not telling your wife (or husband) what you spent, and then having them find the receipt by accident. :depressed:

Oh no, that is not the most dangerous but it is the gateway drug, the dangerous part is your wife catching you with the catalog open and credit card in hand....or you don't make it home before she does.
