" midterm, I was adding up the amount of time I've spent underwater in terms of minutes/hours/days/weeks/years/etc. I determined that I have collectively spent just over 2 weeks underwater!! 
That means I've been underwater long enough to have rafted the entire Grand Canyon, from Lake Powell to Lake Mead, TWICE!! 
While 2 weeks is NOTHING compared to the time some folks have here
, it may seem like a lifetime to others! So I thought this would be a fun thread. 
How long have you spent underwater? Be creative! Example: "I've been underwater for over 1 year which is longer than my child/grandchild/dog/goldfish/whatever has been alive!" Another example: "I've been underwater for 2 days which is longer than the entire dive-around-the-clock!" Or: "I've been underwater for 2 years which is shorter than the time it took NWBrewer to finally get a drysuit!!"
Like I said, be creative!! This isn't a competition, nor a thread for bragging, but rather it's just a fun way to share something creative with friends. I expect the "Yodas" to get really creative! I also hope the newbs will post fun stuff too like "I've now spent the equivalent an entire 8 hour shift underwater!" Have fun with it!!
So... How long have YOU been underwater?!
Course, you both probably need some serious extra time to add things up and do the calculations.
