Practical Scuba Jokes

[kroorda]

Larry, How about a category on the forum entitled:
"SAFE, Practical Scuba Jokes" or, possibly, "Fun and Games - Scuba Related"

For those of us who have been diving many years, we know that safe, practical joking with our fellow divers seems to go with the territory. It's always interesting to hear about some of the practical jokes that have been done on fellow divers.

To start the flow, here are a couple of my favorites:
1. Before a dive, put food coloring (like blue) in someones' booties. When they come back from a dive and take off their booties, their feet are Blue. Better yet, put a different color in each bootie!
2. Take some Ambesol or Orajel (topical anesthetic) and put it all around someone's mouthpiece. They'll wonder why their lips and tongue went numb during the dive.
Thanks, Kent

I would tell you mine, but then I would have to constantly be on the alert that they aren't now being used on ME.

Sticking a bloody fish carcass on your buddy during a shark dive always gets a smile!

Some sausage, bacon, or other meat from breakfast, placed in someone's BC pocket gets them a lot of attention from the fish.

hot sauce on the reg mouthpiece.
bonus points if the diver doesn't check the reg before entry

I herded a giant school of bluefish behind the Pinnacle and when the reef check people came to try and count the blue fish, they came back with zero fish. Never knew where they went too!

But then like a kid, I eventually lost my naughty habits and became an underwater naturalist and have remain so to this day!

I'm sorry, but hot sauce on a reg or a numbing agent on a reg violate the topic of this thread - they are not SAFE.

Look, even in diving there are people that have recovered from serious problems in their past.

For example - hot sauce. Any cancer patient tha thas gone thru chemo - is VERY sensative to any spice. For example, hot sauce could do serious damage to me.

Carefully, tie someone to the tank rack with their zipper cord!
