Remember that moment when you took your very first breath...underwater?
The only thing better than scuba diving is watching your friend's jaw drop when you tell them you've been 90 feet underwater and have swum with turtles and eels. Scuba diving is a craft -- it's exhilarating, addictive, and makes you feel alive.
You know you're a scuba diver when...
1. You have the best pick-up lines
"I'll show you my SPG if you show me yours."
"I either have the bends or I'm in love, sweetheart, because when I see you I get all tingly."
Or, you know, you can just get married underwater too. That's cute.
2. You find yourself throwing weird hand signals all the time
Trust me, that's what they really mean.3. You know not to panic if you run out of air
No seriously, I'm fine. I'm ok with the current events unfolding.4. You can handle a lot of pressure
The only fun type of pressure is when you have 26 pounds of water pressuring you on every square inch of your body.
5. You ARE a mermaid
No seriously. All those girls who just wish they were mermaids? You are actually 100 percent a mermaid.6. Again, you don't panic in any situation
You can either die doing what you love (scuba diving and getting eaten by a shark) or die from your lungs exploding from swimming to the surface too fast. Take your pick.7. You know that the ocean is your second home
"There's nothing wrong with enjoying looking at the surface of the ocean itself, expect that when you finally see what goes on underwater, you realize you've been missing the whole point of the ocean."
