YOU ARE ALL URINATORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jerbee]

The title says it all. I'm a urinator, too, and proud of it. In fact, I'm a professional urinator. I didn't realize that I was a urinator until I came across a random passage in a book dealing with Ancient Rome referencing the "guild of urinators" - a guild of divers (usually salvage divers) who would go down to up to 30m with a copper bell over their heads.

In Latin there is a curious twist in that whereas urina means “urine,” the verb urinare means “to dive,” and to the Romans a urinator was a diver - an example of a deceptive cognate. Urinator: a diver (from L. urinare < urinor, to plunge under water, dive)

It's remotely possible that I was already aware of the word...
Hence the "Urino Donec Mortalis" on my left arm.

No, I dive a dry suit.

Does this require a proficiency card? Sometimes shortened to a P-card, using the vernacular of the commontry.

"Your thread YOU ARE ALL URINATORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! was moved to a different forum. Reason: A nice thread, but the Mods have decided that the subsequent posts are a shade too edgy for the Basic Forum. Thanks for your understanding."

Good question. I'll check with PADI.
