The Zen of DiFF
I've just read a section of "The Art of Diving" entitled "Fooling around", and thought of DiFF. In Zen diving (apparently) it is important to cultivate " a playful mind" e.g. the following

performing underwater manoeuvres like swimming upside down or looping the loop
kissing underwater
drinking fizzy pop at 30 metres
diving nude (I'm not making this up)
taking off your fins and doing a moon walk
listening to an MP3 player
and even (stand by) upside down ice diving where you bounce off the ice

Now then DiFFers, who's tried any of those?!

Yes, but I'm not saying which ones(s), although there is video evidence of at least one out on the internet thingy.

You should try a tango (the dance) at 6m as well, bloody funny

Drinking pop at 30m.......I dont even drink pop before I dive.....its the bubbles!

I used to dive with a lad who was forever eating and I think it was at Scapa he was photographed eating a marsbar at 30 odd meters!

Ohhh also just thought I did know someone longtime back who used to smoke a fag just before diving and blow smoke into his BCD...........so he could have a drag while on a dive!

Now then DiFFers, who's tried any of those?!
I´ve also tried to find the depth at which a lemon becomes neutral (saw a pic of a fish playing with one in another forum)...also cracked an egg uw...that sort of thing...
