Rebreather pranks

Explorer · 15th June 2006, 05:26

Has anyone out there in Rebreather World ever, heaven forbid, played a joke with someone while on CCR? I have heard a chap once hiding behind a reef with a halloween mask on and scaring the OC divers coming around the corner.

Come on all you saints.

Yup, on the Dressden up at Scapa last week me an my buddy hid behind some plates and started winding up some O/C guys, we didn't know who they were but we were in one of those moods, just started laughing deeply and telling them the end was coming and we were going to get them.

They seemed to move onto another part of the wreck rather quickly

Were actualy getting rather good at talking underwater now.

On a couple of occasions when diving with another Inspo user, I'd get quite close and switch my master off. This gives the usual beeps as the slave takes over.

Inevitably the buddy looks up (hoping it's not him) and sees me look at my handsets and shake my head 'Nope it's not me', he has a brown trouser moment checking his handsets.

Do this 3 or 4 times and it's quite amusing until they realise.

Used a two mix nitrox computer during my training.
Forgot that it resets itself overnight, so I bend it during the second dive.
Never had done that before, so I took it along to see what would happen.

Gave weird warnings every now and then, and the two guys on Evo and Inspo
kept looking at their handsets, tapping on them and shaking their heads.
A minute or two at a time.

Well, it's not really a Rebreather specific prank ( I was on OC at the time), but I've been known to sneak up behind a buddy, loop a safety spool around his manifold, play out about 10 feet of line and then let him tow me for a while.

" one time at band camp"

once you become comfortable with a dive buddy , you can start to make the dives a little more interesting : I once took a rubber eye ball that looked disgustingly like the real thing and a bit of lime cool-aid drink mix down on a dive with a good friend of mine . We were diving devils throat in COZ and he was a bit nervous already, as he followed me in and out of the swim Thur I paused and slipped the eye ball in my mask then ripped the cool aid open and the fun began , He first swam right at me, with only one eye open I could see the shear panic in his eyes then he stopped and began to back away as I pulled my mask off and the eye ball floated away in a cloud of green smoke.

after he settled down underwater and we surfaced he said he had pissed his suit and was holding back the puke. alarmed at first then panic then queasy fell over him.

ND time ,

anyone dive the Aqua cat , they have a great video guy named Dave ( no longer with them ) he would shoot every day and had great edited productions every night to watch . I had this little fake rubber baby sea Tuttle that we like to freak dive masters out with . As he was filming us on a really nice dive that seemed to be loaded with turtles I swam down in a canyon knowing he would give chase. I pulled the rubber turtle from my pocket then pretending to pluck it from under a sponge ,shake it a bit and begin to bite its head off while looking directly back at the camera . I could see the camera go from wide to a tight sot of me with the baby turtle then as I bite down the camera drops from his face and his eyes as big as pies , a slight muffled "sheiiiiit "yelled through his reg .

That night no edit needed.
