Sting
Dive Master C earned one of her nicknames by becoming a Medic/First Aid
subject. At the time I was a Dive Master myself and was with another
instructor and several other students completing their Rescue Diver
Training. We were in the country at a little cabin in the woods and had
spent the night there with all our gear hanging out to dry from the previous
days diving. We got up the next morning early (O' Dark Thirty) and started
to don out swimsuits, etc when C started to dance around saying "ow ow
ow, something is biting me" and pulled her swimsuit away from her body
to let whatever it was get out. Nothing fell, flew, or crawled out. So she
replaced her suit and there were several Rescue Diver Candidates crowded
around behind her to check out the bite on her buttocks. We couldn't tell
what it was and were genuinely concerned thinking maybe a spider, scorpion,
or something had STUNG her. She starts dancing again and saying "It's
got me again" or something similar. When she pulled her suit away this
time, a Red Wasp flew out. We were thankful we now knew what it was and
summarily nicknamed her 'STING'. We should have taken pictures.
