Does anyone know of a web source for diving terms in Spanish.  With English translations.
I have pigeon spanish, which extends as far as "Where is my aunt's pigpen?", and "Two beers please", and recently had fun in a
Spanish dive centre trying to find out how deep they were diving.  So it would be handy to know the spanish for the different bits
of dive kit, and the usual stuff divers talk about (immediately before and after the dive - I do not want the terms for fetish sex
and drinking, as I can manage that with sign language)
Regards,

BCD - chaleco
regulator  - regulador (ok thats easy)

willing people to give you all kinds of diving jargon in Spanish.

I like to regard it as a 'work in progress'.
Should be finished roundabout this time next year!

Can't help you, I'm afraid, but you've reminded me of a phenomenon that
I found really interesting in Cyprus last year.  The DM we were with,
whose English, although good, was far from perfect, turned to me
underwater at one point and said in sign language, "Leave that.  Come
with me and I'll show you something worth photographing."  He signed
this in maybe two seconds and I understood him perfectly.
