Home is where the pink regulator is...

The Brisbane Diving Divas’ outing at the Brisbane Pride Fair Day was fabulous! The weather has been windy and cold lately but the visibility for BDD’s membership is very clear and encouraging for the newly-formed lesbian and gay scuba club. To date, over 50 lesbians and gays signed in to be involved in BDD’s future dives and activities. And the best part was - we did not even have to wear our scuba kit and walk around handing out flyers as initially planned!

Inviting unsuspecting passerby to suck on the pink regulator connected to a CO2 tank was not in our original plan, though. Nor the profane play with phrases such as ‘dive down’ or ‘go down’. Really. But judging by the numbers of people who stopped, giggled and inquired about BDD -  the ‘pink bit’ spiel  and wordplay proved to be winners. Nonetheless, trust that we will neither attempt to ‘go down’ the sexual subtext again, nor blame nitrogen narcosis for doing so.  Promise ;-).

Once again, we would like to take this opportunity to extend our appreciation to all the wonderful people from the Brisbane LGBTI community for opening their arms and welcoming us with so much warmth on our first outing as the first lesbian and gay scuba club in Queensland.

Cheers and happy blowing bubbles!
