Advice and ideas needed

Awesome Dude,

I'm not sure about taking the ring underwater....don't want to loose it and once she finds it, she will want to respond and then what you both surface on a drift dive?

Maybe you pop the question as you are getting out...end of safety stop with a slate or sign. You don't want to do it right before you start a dive...it will take all the wind out of the situation if then you have to concentrate on a dive afterwords. I love the idea of poping the the question during a dive, the logistics don't seem to work out. Maybe you might have to settle for a nice sunset.

Maybe during a surface interval on the boat.

Congrats and let us know how this turns out.

I know someone who proposed with a ring underwater, had a small box in a shell which was planted, that is where I got the idea from. His intended "found" it and it was very sweet.

There is no problem taking the ring underwater as long as it is properly secured in a little box. You can leave it in the box and you can wait until you are on your SI to put it on her finger. She will be plenty able to indicate her response underwater.

Maybe the op can help you know when you will have a dive which is not a drift dive. And I bet you could get the DM to jump in and plant it for you.

Good luck.

Here's a thought FoxHound. You could use a dummy ring, something cheap, to propose under water. And have the real thing in the hotel safe. You will not need any slate or laminated paper, a girl knows what it means when a guy pulls out a ring.

I'm so pulling for you to have a wonderful and memorable trip and proposal!!! Love, when it is real and other focused, is a beautiful and happy thing to be celebrated. Gives the rest of us hope. Please share you story with us when you return.

I would go with the dummy ring. It will undoubtedly get the point across, no slate needed. Might be cute to make a box out of 2 scallop shells or something like that.

That's a really good idea!!! Or even this might work ... a paperweight diamond ring. You could hide it in a BC pocket and pull it out at the end of the safety stop as you surface maybe ....

Us gals just love it when a guy goes all mushy over his girl.

Did someone say "ROCK?"

I just bought my own set, for my ears. But I wear fakes when on dive trips! You can find some good fakes rings around. Don't have to have that huge paperweight.
