Not really, in fact I didnt even get to dive. I woke up at 530 in the morning to drive an hour to the Marina, upon getting there earlier than I thought, I waited around for about an hour before my instructor showed up along with a few other students..
He hands me my tanks and tells me to check the pressure on both before we go out. I walk em' over to my car, pop the trunk and hook up my regs, turn em' on and everything's OK!, so i pull the tank down and my trunk auto shuts. It just so happens my keys are just out of reach and BAM, locked out of my car with all my gear inside!:shocked2:
The boat was running and ready to roll out at 8 sharp, due to another class scheduled later, they had to leave. So now I'm sitting on the pier in the 90 degree heat baking to death waiting for Cadillac to come open my doors. The tech said 25-30 min, no biggie... 2 1/2 hours later he shows up and said he went to 10 diff marinas and got lost. So now I'm soaking wet, dying of heat, and driving another hour home stuck in bumper to bumper traffic. 2 hours later, I arrive home and order food, the food shows up and the order is completely wrong.
At least I drank 5 crucial warm gatorades as I sat next to a thorn bush for some shade while these giant black buzzards walked around me all while this random rooster under a trailer cock-a-doodle-dooed NONSTOP.
On a brighter note, my wetsuit came in today. Thought I'd share my first OW dive and vent.
