Gents, I need your help. What is the best excuse that you have used to your other half to go diving but not make it look like you are going diving, if you see what I mean.

Just go on a boat ride with her and let your wedding band slip off "accidentally" in deep water. Guarranteed to make her order you into the water to retrieve it or else!
 Of course, you'll have to think of a good explanation on why you happened to have your gear at hand... Adrian Last edited by Adrian; April 12th, 2003 at 23:01.

Sharky, I know this is addressed to the fellas,
but out of curiosity: Is your intended spouse against diving? If this is something you feel passionately about, you need no excuse, man. You are a dedicated diver, it's part of who you are. Nuff said. If she were the diver, you'd let her go, right? --- (Just trying to be reasonable.) (What ever happened to the notion that we can have separate interests? Being married doesn't mean being joined at the hip!) --OceanSwimmer.

Hi Sharky
I asked Mrs Griff and she reckons you shouldnt get married.  but, if you want to tell her you are going diving, and make it look like you are doing her a favour, tell her "I think that you need some time alone to spoil yourself, so i'll just duck out for a few hours. oh, here are some candles and bath salts, enjoy, bye"I reckon you shouldnt post this at DB because she's been known to browse the threads.

It's a bit late for that, she just found out and said I is mean and there is no problem with me diving, just not free diving. Which I don't have to much of a problem with.
Anyway, stag do next weekend and there is a good chance I won't get away with just a mild beating

so does she have a problem with you killing fishies? if so, here are some tips that have worked for me.
#1, try to bring the fish home in fillets, so it looks like meat, not a recently deceased life form #2, If you bring back lobsters, make sure that they are very dead before you put them on the fire, so that they dont twitch while they cook. this only works if she likes seafood, and probably secretly looks forward to you comming back with a full bag, and no pun intended enjoy the stag night  cheers mark

Sharky - I have to agree with OceanSwimmer on this one...but often easier said than done...
You could try to portray boatdives in the most positive light possible i.e.: "Isn't it great that you get to suntan in peace, whilst I spend an hour in the water?" "Wow - your suntan is amazing! Much better than one you would get lying on the beach!" "Babes - I feel so much safer when you are in the boat watching over me..." Well - you get the picture; if all else fails - offer to buy her some indigenous jewellery at the end of the hol's... ;-) Narced

That shounds bit familliar.. my ex-girlfriend told me that I shoudn't dive... and as she asked what was best in our trip to Italy...she said she enjoyed Venice... I told the deep dive into the lake at night.. She didn't think much of that.. and the other time diving in Egypt she was shouting at me to come back to shore as I was night diving... she got scared..
I tell ya, leave your better half home when you go diving... it is a scary experience to wait for someone to pop up from the water and hope that you actually do pop up... it feels like you have been down there for atleast an hour..

Svens right on that one...take it from another guy about to get married-"it is easier to ask forgiveness than permission."

Sharky,
My lady and I just passed our 2nd anniversary. While I cant say that we dont but heads every now and then, I will add that I have found it easier to ask for permission than to ask for forgiveness. Sven is right: keep it honest. Except when she asks how she looks in that hideous dress. Good luck Adam
