Three instructors and their students are on board a dive boat in the middle of the ocean.  There is a NAUI instructor, a PADI instructor, and an SSI instructor.  Everything is going fine until the boat springs a leak and starts to sink.    The SSI instructor says to his students, "Okay, we're in the middle of the ocean, so we might as well do our deep dive."    The NAUI instructor says to his students, "Okay, we might as well do our navigation dive, so let's get our compasses out and swim towards shore."    The PADI instructor says to his students, "Okay, for $25 extra you guys get to do a wreck dive!"    Report

A few members of a local BSAC club went diving off the South coast, amongst them was Jim and Wilma,  a husband and wife who always dived together.  On the last dive they got separated, Jim surfaced ok, but his wife was nowhere to be seen. They initiated a search but after a long day and night, it was called off and Jim went back home alone and heartbroken. The next day the club Diving Officer (DO) knocked on Jim's front door and said "I'm really sorry Jim, but I've got some bad news, some good news and some very good news", Fearing the worst Jim said "Give it to me straight, what's the bad news"? "Well we've found your wife's body" came the solemn reply, "Oh my God" wept Jim...... after a while he said "well, what's the good news"? "You wouldn't believe it" said the DO excitedly "when we brought her up, we got 2 large crabs and 3 huge lobsters!!!" After some time Jim said "what's the very good news then"? "Well, we're going to bring her up again, tomorrow morning!" The DO retorted.    Report

When I got certified, the instructor always stressed that you never go diving alone.  If you run out of air, your buddy can help you.  If you have equipment problems, your buddy can help you.  If you meet a shark, your odds are 50-50 instead of 100%"    Report
