You Might Be A Redneck Diver If....

You might be a Redneck Diver if... You've ever made a failed hydro tank into a piece of living room furniture.

dang.... what did he use as a spit cup?

Nothin' - tough hombres swaller (I'm not kidding!). I knew other such yokels I grew up with - I happened to meet this guy on Cayman Brac, but he grew up in the same area I had. Really freaked out the female DM with his stories of such when he was a Gulf Coast rig diver.

Now, stories of US Navy Torpedomen when wearing breathing gear from folks I worked with who had served on Navy subs beat this by a LONG shot (and are not for discussion in a family oriented forum). They go beyond the pale of 'redneck'.

You may be a red neck diver if...
You fill your tanks from your buddy's tires...

Now that's a spooky thought! Especially since I lived in one area where some of the redneck locals would top off their tire pressure with propane from the household propane tank if they found they had a low tire - it was referred to as 'country air'.

We saw a front tire explode on a welder's truck one very hot day;it broke the motor mount on that side of the vehicle!

You might be a redneck if you dive for golfballs in cutoffs and a Molly Hatchet t-shirt;-)

I could have been self inspired on that one

Hmmm you might be a redneck if :
you use a chain instead of a retractor for your SPG
You use a checkered flag as a dive flag
Your weights are made from melted down (stolen) tire balancing lead
you have a sticker on your tank that says "I'm diving with stupid --->")
You wrote "L" and "R" on your fins (and still get it wrong)
you eat beef jerky on your surface interval
you got your tanks filled at the tire pump at the fillin' station

Did they really do that with the tires? or was that a joke?

Or you have been to a Mullet Tossing Contest, you might be a redneck.

You might be a diving redneck if you have Calvin on your truck committing acts of "agency-bashing" (any agency counts).
