M=Money
Plan to spend a lot of Moolah if you take up the sport of diving. :dance:
Also, JJ and Laura may spend lots of money to keep the nekkid divers film from airing at 11. :diver:

N=Neutral Buoyancy

Divers need to strive for neutral buoyancy to avoid disturbing the corals and sponges at the bottom and maneuver easily through the fishes' backyard.

Oxygen

R-Redundancy

Redundancy of equipment, such as lights, and breathing gas supply, is especially important when doing advanced dives such as deep and/or cave dives.

S = Safety Stop

Divers should make sure they have enough air left for a 3 minute safety stop at the end of their dives

T=Tanks

Tanks for scuba may be made of aluminum or steel, come in a variety of sizes and colors, including PINK (for Diverlady), and may contain compressed air,enriched air nitrox, or tri-mix, depending on the type of diving being done.

V-Valsalva maneuver

The forced expiratory effort made with the mouth and nostrils closed with the purpose of equalizing the pressure in the middle ears during a water descent.

Perhaps a little help for the letters missed.

Cylinders are the containers in which our beathing gas is stored.

Diving is what we love.

Kelp forests are wonderful places for divers to explore.

Money is needed to buy gear for diving.

Neutral buoyancy is a necessary skill for all divers.

Oxygen is the componet in nitrox that allows us to stay down longer.

Peeing in my wetsuit is a relief.

Safety stops are a good practice.

Valsalva maneuver is the most commonly used equalization technique.

Weights are usually necessary to achieve neutral buoyancy.
No single raindrop believes it is responsible for the flood.
