Excuse me but there’s a zipper on your privates…

This is the last day of diving.  Boo Hoo!

Bill figured out my little prank, but not immediately, so he got a good laugh out of it.

Everyone dives with dive guide pointers.  Not so much to point things out but to anchor themselves when taking a shot.  Also, they bring skewer sticks from the kitchen to mark where the good nudis are so that the next person can find them.

Many people have “relief zippers” on their wetsuits.  I think it’s hilarious.  Basically we are down for so long (Christianne had 102 minute dive yesterday) that you are dying to go to the bathroom.  Everyone pees in their wetsuit but basically then you are in you own pee until you can rinse out your wetsuit.   With a relief zipper, you can unzip and pee directly into the water (and not your wetsuit).  Interesting concept but then you always have this weird zipper on you privates.  J  Speaking of which, I only peed in my wetsuit once this trip.  That’s pretty good!

Bill compiled a slide show with 10 photos from each of us and set it to music.  It was nice to see everyone else’s photos.  He even kept the silly photos I cropped out of the book and put them under Barrack Obama’s twitter handle #FirstBlackPrez.  Nannette also showed her video she compiled this week.  Wow.  She is very talented.  She also showed a video she put together about nudibranchs.  I couldn’t believe it, she has some amazing action shots of nudis.  Who knew there was such a thing?
