Muck Diver

Text book diver...gotta set a good example for my 13-year old dive buddy, aye.

Muck diver - While you would love to come face-to-face the ocean's larger inhabitants, they often choose to cruise by when you are face-to-face with a shrimp.

If they do cruise by, I wouldn't be able to see them anyway, since my vis is rarely over 10 feet or so here. But hey, I don't mind being face-to-face with a good bent opossum shrimp or something.

Wow, seven pages and I am the first Top Dog! lol
This is actually very accurate....kind of weird...especially the part about the air consumption!!

Top Dog Diver
What are my traits?
Despite your relatively limited experience, you are a confident diver and eager to offer advice to those less accomlished than you. To you, diving comes very easily, although your air-consumption could be a little better.

You are a natural and can cope with almost any situation, many of which you have dealt with successfully already.

You are generous, especially at the bar and are a great story-teller. After your dive, you enjoy nothing more than a beer with friends to compare your diving experiences, particularly the brushes with danger and encounters with Sharks.

Text book diver... maybe a little boring, but a good buddy.

Thrill Seeker

What are my traits?
Your idea of the perfect dive is a remote & seldom visited spot, where apex predators circle your head as you cling to the current-swept reef for dear life.

If you thought you saw the shape of something big in the distance, you would not think twice about abandoning your buddy to jet off into the blue for a closer look. You have a keen interest in marine life, but almost no knowledge of any fish or critters smaller than you as they hold no interest.

Remote locations, plummetting drop-offs, caves, caverns & currents hold no fear for you as you boldly seek out the most thrilling & exciting experiences that the underwater world can offer.

I am a Gadget Freak


What are my traits?
Nothing turns you on more than the chance to use your latest piece of hi-tech diving equipment and you have every piece of dive gear imaginable, making travel difficult.

You are an avid reader of dive magazines and love to go to your annual dive expo to check out all the latest gadgets.

It's quite possible that you could go a whole dive without seeing a single fish, as you spend the entire time fiddling with the the settings on your state-of-the-art, radio controlled dive computer/mask, trying to get it to tell you what depth you are at and how long you have been diving.




This is just tempting me to buy more gear.

Snap Happy Diver

What are my traits? Your underwater camera is always at the ready and you find it almost impossible to look at an interesting fish without spending 20 minutes photographing it. You view your camera as your buddy and the person you dive with as an unwanted distraction, who kicks up sand, asks annoying questions about your air and generally ruins your focus. Your dream dive site is a shallow, beautiful, coral reef teeming with curious & colourful marine life and you can often be found chasing a fish around the reef or hanging at an absurd angle, desperately trying to get that prize-winning shot.

Yup...sounds about right! I do love a deep dive though.

Additional trait:
Sometimes, your buddy has difficulty telling the difference between you and the fish!
