There are actually stacks of genuine mysteries in diving. Here are just a few:
-Why is it always last week that the sea was flat calm, the viz was 30m and the dolphins came to visit?
-Just how many dive blokes does it take to replace a fin strap? And why does the debate about the correct way to do it, and the correct tool to use, take significantly longer than the actual task?
-Why is it that just as you arrive on the wreck and your torch fails, you can remember exactly where your back-up is. On the boat.
-Just how many series of Wreck Defectives will it take for Miranda to master the art of buoyancy control?
-What is it about the sound of your drysuit being zipped shut that triggers the urge to visit the toilet?
-Why does the bag containing your lunchtime snack always get mistaken for a cushion by the diver with the fattest arse?
