Parked my truck too close to the edge of the parking lot at a shore dive site (dive 1 of a 4 day trip over Labor Day weekend). So when I went to walk around the back of the truck to get my dry clothes after the dive, I stepped off the edge of the curb and twisted my ankle and fell head over heals to the ground. This was good in that by rolling with it I avoided a sprain, but also a bit embarrassing, as I was between the point of removing my wet suit and putting on my pants so there was some overexposure to my dive buddies which I may never hear the end of. The ankle hurt for the rest of the weekend, but it did not stop me from doing all the dives we had planned for those next three days. Pretty funny how I could do the entry and exit up and down a slimy ramp without incident, then injure myself on dry land changing out of my wetsuit. LOL.
