Signs a big dive trip is just around the corner


1. You start obsessing over your health. Every tickle in the throat or sneeze becomes a cause for worry. You equalize regularly just to make sure that you still can.

2. You check the weather report obsessively. Does the unseasonal thunderstorm here mean that the weather there is out of the ordinary too?

3. "Don't tell me what you saw there the last time you went, I don't want to know." Thirty seconds later, "Did you see mantas? Wobbegong sharks? Whalesharks?" Then, "No, don't tell me."

4. You start digging out your dive gear and laying them out all around the house. Then comes the painful process of deciding between your three wetsuits, two regulators, four masks, the jets and the splits.

5. The resort website becomes your browser homepage. You know the name of the resident dog and your way around the estate and the boat even though you've never actually set foot on it before.
