New Years, New Contest!!

[icarus pacific]

Seeing as how it's a New Year, let's try a new Contest.

This month shows a little list that I find myself using more often as the deep drops take their toll on my memory. (Where was I...? Oh yeah ) While the list is much shorter than I, :naughty it's pretty complete for a day out here off the rocks in the kelp. But...

YOU add item #13.

The item you insist on bringing along need be humorous and diving related. Well sorta diving related. You'll not believe some of the gear I've seen in gear bags. :chatup

Impress the DB judges and I and you'll roll in a DB T shirt sure to let those in the know, know. Or at your whim, sip long from a DB coffee mug. Is this gonna be a New Year or what?! :friday

I once found a large (like 25pack) box of Condoms in a student's dive bag.

was an all-male 3 day live aboard dive trip....

Here in the BC interior my dive bag always has:


#13: Rifle, .450 mag, & Extra shells. you'd be surprised the critters you bump into on the walk back to the truck after a long drift in salmon river.....

 

[crusty]

Spray on Spit

It always amazes me that people buy spray on antifog ( Pigmy spit in a bottle) when your mouth makes it for free.

Crusty

 

[stoneshot]

My pack of ciggs stowed in a ziplock bag!

Nothing better than a smoke after a 60' freedive! :t

 

[jimdoe2you]

Well this is an easy one!!!!

I, like most men who swim in warm waters, end the dive and upon exiting the water, have swimmer's wood. That's why I always carry in my dive bag an, "Inflata-Ho" system for whenever the urge arises. She/it is multifunctunal and has saved me many times. How you ask??? Because she/it doubles as a life saving raft in emergency situations.

Inflata-Ho has saved me many times when I deemed the moment, "To be an emergency"!

[Erik]

One role of ass-wipe (toilet paper). Many of the places I go spearfishing are remote, and even if there is an outhouse there's usually no friggin' ass-wipe :rcard

Peace,

[delagirh]

Bringing a book of local water legends and myths (ie. treasure ships and sea monsters) makes the trip much more exciting.

In the mood? FOR WHAT?
