Pete,

If you do get some more stickers, sign me up for a few, and let me know how much they are!

The only thing that shows up at night is the skull - rest is black. Quite good at night in spooky wrecks or at night from above- scares the crap out of people

Nice, Mike. I can imagine the effect, all in black... in the dark... quiet and still, then...

Theres one that continues to make my mask flood when I see it. A friend has got written on the back of his box (by the o2 valve funnily enough): " What could possibly go wrong..??"

Every time a winner. I get through twice as much dil diving with him.

Phill, there is a chap named George Irvine the Third, well known cave explorer.
Among his pet peeves are strokes diving CCRs. He believes a YBOD should be sold with shovel to bury the diver.

Your Inspiration Buddy has collected some of his YBOD teachings ... and dared to disagree.

Add-ited: Dammit, Padowan, you beat me to the post ... my connection is sloooooow today.

Ah, but do not forget that correct protocal, etiquette and branding are essential in order to get the gag to work properly :

" The body bag goes in your pocket worn on the right thigh and is secured by a Stainless Steel P clip attached to an O ring. The spade must be worn on the left side of the cover, handle down to prevent snagging.

Only Halcyon Body bags and shovels will work. Use of a London Ambulance Service bag will instantly make you a "Stroke", mean you'll die a horrible death, and probably have to downgrade to a Halcyon Semi Closed Rebreather".

Marvellous

Thanks folks, best larf all day that. "sold with a shovel"

He's a case is

George.

Sometimes think he should be put in one, but you can't knock his marketing skills, we all know him. Love or hate him .

The old sod certainly has achieved a lot and earned a right to voice his opinion.
That some serious diving they did, with enormous logistics and very good record.
Even close friends will tell you he has a Jekyll and Hyde personality when he gets too close to a keyboard.
He's not the only one in that respect, other share that problem, too.
