  JOKE CORNER...

One day, a diver was enjoying the aquatic world 20 feet below sea level. He noticed a guy at the same depth he was, with no scuba gear on whatsoever.

The diver went below another 10 feet, but the guy joined him a minute later. The diver went below 15 more feet, a minute later, the same guy joined him.

This confused the diver, so he took out a waterproof chalkboard, and wrote, "How the heck are you able to stay under this deep without equipment?"

The guy took the board and chalk, erased what the diver had written, and wrote, "I'm drowning, you moron!"

 

Young attractive male seeks female dive buddy for shared recreation and friendship, must have boat. Please send photo of boat.

 

Two divers go spear fishing. They catch a lot of fish and return to the shore.
The first one says, "I hope you remember the spot where we caught all those fish."
The other answers, "Yes, I made an 'X' on the side of the boat to mark the spot."
"You idiot!" cries the first, "How do you know we will get the same boat tomorrow?"

 

A man is stranded on a desert island, all alone for ten years. One day, he sees a speck in the horizon. He thinks to himself, "It's not a ship." The speck gets a little closer and he thinks, "It's not a boat." The speck gets even closer and he thinks, "It's not a raft." Then, out of the surf comes this gorgeous blonde woman, wearing a wet suit and scuba gear.
She comes up to the man and she says, "How long has it been since you've had a cigarette?"
"Ten years!" he says.
She reaches over, unzips this waterproof pocket on her left sleeve and pulls out a pack of fresh cigarettes. He takes one, lights it, takes a long drag and says, "Man, oh man! Is that good!"
Then she asked, "How long has it been since you had a drink of whiskey?
He replies, "Ten years!"
She reaches over, unzips the waterproof pocket on her right sleeve, pulls out a flask and gives it to him. He takes a long swig and says, "Wow, that's fantastic!"
Then she starts unzipping the long zipper that runs down the front of her wet suit and she says to him, "And how long has it been since you had some REAL fun?"
And the man cries out, "My God! Don't tell me you've got a set of golf clubs in there, too!"

 

A diver was shipwrecked up onto a lonely and tropical shore. As he stood up he noticed his hands were purple, he looked at his feet and they were purple, worriedly he unzipped his wetsuit and his chest and stomach were purple. With his head in his hands he cried, "Oh my God!, I’ve been marooned!"

 

How To Fail Your Open Water Test.
a. Tell your instructor you will race him to the surface.
b. Lie face down and motionless while holding your breath.
c. Loudly proclaim that safety stops are for "wossies".
d. Show up with a set of tables based on your own algorithm "that's WAY
better".
e. Spit in your wetsuit and pee in your mask.
f. Ask your instructor, which fin goes on which foot.
g. Tell your instructor there is no way you can lift a cylinder with 2000
pounds of air in it.
h. When asked for your dive plan, you hand over a bundle of travel
brochures.

 

When Do You Need To Practice Better Buoyancy Control?
a. You rely on the silt trail you always stir up to find the shot line at
the end of the dive.
b. You insist that you never wear fins because it makes it more difficult
to walk on the bottom.
c. The only place you can hover is at the surface.
d. On ascents, your entire body clears the surface of the water.
e. You use 50 bar for breathing and 150 bar for your BC.
f. You are certain you went for one dive, but your computer has logged
three.
g. You think being neutral in the water means that you don't fight with
your buddy.

 

A dive boat runs into a terrible storm. Rain and wind and huge waves pound the boat. The divers are quiet but really scared. They are sure the boat is going to sink and they are all going to die. At the height of the storm, a young woman jumps up and exclaims: "I can't take this anymore! I can't just sit here and drown like an animal. If I am going to die, let me die feeling like a woman. Is there anyone here man enough to make me feel like a woman?" One of the dive masters stands up – a tall, handsome, muscular man, he smiles and starts to walk up to her. As he approaches her, he takes off his shirt. She sees his huge muscles – already, she is glad for her decision. He stands in front of her, muscles bulging, shirt in hand and says to her: here, Iron this!"

Good Things to say to Students:
 
Welcome to the foodchain folks, you are no longer on the top!
So what's your point?
Ah, we did cover this in class didn't we?
What part of this did you understand?
No, descending butt first is not acceptable
You couldn't make it to class because your what died?
I'm sorry, but no matter what the store owner said I'm not going to carry all your gear around for you.
Yes Sir, a bad attitude does come with the job
I see, you just forgot to mention the epilepsy
Yes, I know you were scared, but don't ever bite me again!
What do you mean you always bleed like that?
You don't want to do the buddy breathing because you have what!
No, this isn't all I do for a living
Yes, this is what I do for a living...why?
No Sir, I really can't explain all the biochemical reactions in the body to hyperbaric stress..
BTW, what did you say you did for a living?

 

 

Things Dive Masters Say:
 
I don't care who the hell you are Mr. Cousteau. Everyone does a pool checkout!
To a nice looking lady carrying her handbag onboard:
Can I help you with that mam?
To a guy carrying a set of twin 12's onboard:
Looks heavy mate!
You should've been here last week, the visibility was great
You didn't see the whale shark?
This is just my day job. I want to be an instructor and make the big bucks

 

Things Store Owners Say:

REFUNDS!..We Don't Give No Stinking REFUNDS!!!!
Ok, it's 2 AM, you drive till we get there
As their instructor, they trust you..so sell like hell!
Look, I'm, letting you take the boat trips for free, what else do you want?
I can't pay you anymore, you know I don't make money on classes
I can't pay you anymore, you know I don't make money on trips
I can't pay you anymore, you know I don't make money on equipment sales
Sorry about the problem with that cheque
Well, I couldn't find the student certification forms you signed, so I signed them off myself.
BTW, did I mention that I had enough certifications now to get my Master Instructor!
Let's see, that will be £3,289...ooops! I forgot the mask clear, that will be £3,292.45!
If I gave you 10% off, I couldn't stay in business!
It's the instructor's fault
Sure, anyone can learn to dive, now what was that problem you had?
Ok, so your out of the hospital, when can you take another class?
You want a compass...hmmm, you must mean a directional monitor
I would love to see pictures of your latest trip, right after you've bought something.
