Congrats!

In seventh grade I went to the national scout jamboree and 10 minutes in a 4 ft deep pool was enough to get me hooked. The summer before going to college, my aunt took a grad class trip to Hawaii. The prof wrote an undergrad version for me. Scuba was on the itinerary, so I got certified...

I'd test the air before diving it. If there was any moisture in the tank, it could have rust in it which would have eaten up the oxygen. Just test it as you would for nitrox.
