Cheap yoga ball, cut holes for waist, arms and head, stuff it so it keeps shape, then glue on loads of upside down plastic cups, spray paint the whole thing black and be a mine.

I like the mine one!

Do you have acces to one of those bright yellow Helle Hansen water proof suits that were all the rage 20 years ago, and fishermen still love today? Stick some tin foil fish to you, and you are a fisherman!

Otherwise - go in a wetsuit if you are feeling brave!?

Go as a crab.
Carry a female friend on your back and when they ask who she is you can tell them.....

'This is Michelle'

Pop over to Bradford Uni Sub-aqua and borrow some dive kit. Dry suit, tank, regs, flippers, goggles, stab-jacket. Leave the weightbelt though....
Or go round nicking drinks....you're a mine-sweeper.
Go with Gary Glitter....you can be a small bouy.
Go just as the party is finishing to pick-up drunken girls....dredger.
