Collective nouns.

I wasn't sure where to put this question, but, as the first part of my enquiry relates to diving I thought here would be OK even though the balance would be better placed in the Non Diving Posts section.

Fairly recently there was a humorous thread about the collective noun for divers. I believe I favoured "a dump of divers". Can anyone remember if there was a consensus on which should be adopted.

Secondly, I am now interested in hearing of more collective nouns either real OR humorous (please identify which if you do decide to join in).

Thirdly, is there a book on the subject available.

Tks.
