You know you're a scuba diver when... you don't blink twice when you are handed a regulator that just came out of a "strangers" mouth and have to put in yours and breathe off it....(in a practice/ training scenario). Yes, I have / had?? a high "ick" factor.

....when you don't think twice about peeing in what you're wearing, when you're surrounded by others! (Oh, that sounds remarkably like my grandson!)

You know you're a scuba diver when....

Your wetsuit reeks cuz you've used it for 8 dives over the last two days, and peed in it at least once, but you still put it on because it's time to gear up for another dive!

You Know You're a Scuba Diver When...Your measure of the quality of a vacation is determined by how many times you, compressed air, and water came together.

when you own more bathing suits than underwear, your dive gear takes up more space in your room than your clothes, and your tanks fill the space between the tv and stereo.

When you tell friends and neighbors that you are going to bed EARLY and SOBER on New Years Eve !

Because you are diving at the Blue Heron Bridge on the 1st !

You can say that you are one of the few to kill off a pair of JetFins. (I just got a brand new pair under the lifetime warranty after splitting my previous pair.) Never thought I'd live to see the day!

You know you're a scuba diver when..all your time off is calculated by where, who, and how many dives will be done.

I love the one about the hand gestures!!! My most frequent dive buddy and I spent a day on land, we were suddenly confused about a plan, and our communication was still hand gestures for direction!!!

You know you're a scuba diver when you start snorting sea water and snot into your hand after a dive, and nobody thinks twice about what you're doing!
