Ok, so the games thing...I admit they are fun. But they always seem like a cheap way to get posts to me. On the other hand, if they get people active and posting in other scuba stuff, then they are a good thing.

So, I'll start a new game, while the other continues to grow beyond any other thread here :).

But I'll keep this one scuba related. It predates SB and comes from rec.scuba. Not being particularly poetic myself, I'll start it with a stolen haiku:

Struggle into gear
Careful duck walk to boats edge
Final Checks, wave bye

Putting on my suit
Oops forgot my weight again
dive done, not begun


(sorry, don't remember the rules for haiku or scuba-ku)


Just looked it up-

What is Haiku?

Haiku is one of the most important forms of traditional Japanese poetry. Haiku is, today, a 17-syllable verse form consisting of three metrical units of 5, 7, and 5 syllables.

Diving with hubby.;)


Lake Wazee was a bit windy and cold this last weekend...especially when considering whether to put on a cold, wet, wetsuit on for a second dive.
