Photo Meme for ladyelleth

[dawn_felagund]

Since I had to return my rental gear to the dive shop today, I photographed it all per the request of ladyelleth. The others are on their way within the next few days!

Taking the lead from sirielle, I have Photoshopped in comments indicating what you're looking at (since dive gear can look pretty mysterious to a non-diver) and explaining what's what for anyone who is interested. The only thing I couldn't photograph were the air tanks, which we returned yesterday. But that's one of the more boring items anyway.

Oh, and if you see strange numbers painted on the stuff...it's rental equipment! The wetsuits, BCD, gloves, hood, and regulator are all rental gear.

I have come to the conclusion that it's not a worthwile activity if it doesn't involve awkward footwear! ;)

My show riding boots are rather strange to walk in, but oooohhhh so comfortable to ride in! Marching shoes, dog show shoes (yes, I have a pair of "dog show shoes")...They all involve special shoes!!

And your bathroom looks almost exactly the same as mine (though mine got "remodeled" so now we have green walls and different hardware, but I definitely used to have that same hardware on the faucets and stuff before!), only mirror-imaged. Crazy.

Oh, and you always have to root against My Teams don't you? ;P

Ooh, those are some slick fins! Though they're bringing back "fond" memories of whenever I'd accidentally put my head down too far to look at a fish, my snorkel would fill up, I'd freak out just enough to try to stand up, and forget I had these big extensions on my feet that just made me trip forward again. It's fun being graceful in the water until you get an annoying reminder you were born a terrestrial mammal! ;)

Heehee, I love those notes like "random towel" and "(bling bling)" :D

You and I have the same kind of hand soap. Also, that is one enormous watch. o.O

KEWL!!!!!!!

You guys and my brother would have a total conversation while I sat and appeared confused.

You should get those gloves back to MI-5 (British CIA) before they miss them and come after you. :-P

Love the photos and the descriptions ("random towel" and "bling bling" especially). Very cool!

Haha. I love your comments. Evil ouchies, though.

I think I would never feel comfortable doing scuba diving. I mean, it sounds fascinating, but all that technical stuff would freak me out, I fear. ;)

Sorry I took so long to comment! *hangs head in shame* - But... you deserve a BIG FAT THANK YOU! For taking photos of everything! I'm just so blown away by how much equipment there actually is... I have fins and know how weird it is to walk in them, but the rest... neoprene suits I know of, but the rest... wow. Of course there was bound to be some technical stuff, but stupid little me wouldn't have believed how much. I thought about taking a diving class at University (which was the first reason for asking to see pictures of your stuff), but I think I just changed my mind! Equipment there would be provided, but... no. I'm a technophobe, for the most part, and I'd be so scared to break any of it...
