I have two, a diver one and just one that I like.

"In days of old, when divers were cold,
And drysuits weren't invented,
The best latrine was neoprene,
Especially when rented."

Pop quiz hotshot: It's the final dive of the trip, and the best viz yet. You're at 45 feet and and critter you've been trying to photograph for the past half hour is starting to slowly come out of his hole and into the perfect light. A quick glance up shows you buddy entangled in some wires from the wreck, and he's frantically giving the "out of air" sign. What do you do? WHAT DO YOU DO?

Simple....

Take a huge breath of air, inflate your BC, unbuckle it, let it float up to your friend, take your picture, do your emergency ascent with your one breath of air, meet your friend, grab your octo, untangle your friend and when you surface, say "God Damn, how's that for saving the shot?"

With apologies to Lowell George

And I been warped by the rain
Driven by the waves
I'm wet and crusty but don't you know I'm still diving

And I was out on the boat late at night
Seen a pretty clown fish in every flashlight
Nemo clown fish Nemo

And I've been from Palau to Wakatobi, Belize to Pohnpei
I've dived every kind of rig thats ever been made
Practiced my buoyancy so I needed less weights

And if you give me
Tanks, weights and time
and you show me a sign
I'll be willin' to be divin'

We dive by the 80/80 rule here. 80 degrees and 80' of visability or no dive!
By me in interview by Seattle times.

My other favorite along the same lines is

If its so cold that you HAVE to wear a wetsuit.........Its to cold to dive!

Cheers Jim

And for a twisted quotes.

Diveing is 90% mental and the other half is physical Yogi Berra

He dives from both sides of the boat. He's amphibious. Yogi Berra

In dive theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is. Yogi Berra
