Diving in a kilt

From the USA Kilts Blog ( http://www.usakilts.com/blog/diving-in-a-kilt.html )

We thought this picture of our customer (and friend) was too funny not to share. You can go ANYWHERE in our kilts... land, sea or air! Our friend, Ron, recently took a trip to the Grand Caymans where he's a dive instructor and wore one of our kilts on his dives.

That's too funny! I went diving in the Caymans years ago and it was a great experience. Beautiful corals, flying fish, moray eels and Red Stripe beer. What could be better? Getting eyed by barracuda increased the pucker factor a bit, though. Diving in a kilt--why has no one thought of this before?

Probably because once the kilt dries, the smell would scare the buzzard off a manure truck (and attract every seagull in a 10 mi. radius to your house).

You'd spend more time laundering the kilt than anything. ;-)

Plus, as an avid scuba diver myself, I would say that the fewer loose, flowy, billowy, dangly things you have on or around you, the better. There would be nothing worse than getting parts of you or a dive buddy caught up or tangled in something. That said, it's a pretty funny shot, and for the novelty of it, it's all good. Kinda like the divers who wear Santa suits underwater at Christmas time...

Going to Australia and the great barrier reef soon, never dived before but am thinking I should. But I'll pass on wearing the kilt for it if I do. Awesome picture though and a good advertisement for your kilts Rocky

I think he's wearing the kilt a bit too high. Blub, blub, blub.

Nice brogues and kilt (weight) belt though.

I did a good bit of diving (both free and scuba) in the Florida Keys many years ago - off Marathon and Looe Key mostly.

Almost certainly a casual or semi-trad so made from PV with a Teflon coating, so I suspect just hosing it off with your other equipment when you remove the salt water residue would deal with any smell.
