You know you're a local NYC diver when...

You know you're a local NYC diver when...

• You walk into the dive shop and recognize the names on every tank tag
• The dive shop employees all know your name
• You've wondered how many other people have pony bottles under their desks and regs in their filing cabinents
• You've had to explain to someone that yes, people dive around here and yes, there is plenty of stuff to see
• You've carried scuba tanks on a city bus/train or had to leave your tanks on the sidewalk so you could hail a cab
• Your choice of apartment is dependent upon availability of storage space for your gear
• You've lost a very expensive piece of equipment somewhere in the ocean

I'm going to leave this as a work in progress... let me know some of your ideas!
