Finalists

"You're about a meter and a half above sea level. We'd like to get that down a little." �Joshua

"We're canceling the plan to inject a miniaturized diver into your body without actually miniaturizing him. Unfortunately, the test results show that we've attempted this joke so many times that the virus has become resistant to it." �Walt

Honorable mention

"This will be your bucket list companion. He is drowning in his, having led a pathetic life, which is why I think you'll make great friends." �Brian L

"Don't worry, I've seen MUCH worse. For instance, we have this one patient who, I kid you not, wanders the ward wearing this ridiculous-looking deep sea div-- He's standing right behind me, isn't he?" �Ed C

"We're still working on the butterfly" �GilbertBob

"This? Oh, I needed to get my scuba outfit dry-cleaned. Yes, I know it's comically outdated, but I can't afford a newer one. Not all doctors are rich, you jerk. By the way, you have cancer." �Dan McCoy

"President Obama just signed a bill nationalizing health care. We're going to have to move you from this high-end hospital, furnished with a big comfortable bed and antique scuba diving decorations, to a state-run joint where you'll lie on a stretcher in the hallway and be ignored by bureaucrats. I'm sorry."�John Tabin

"Mr. Tariq, it's time for your waterboarding." �jim M
