I'am a real diver now!

[fillylove]

morning everyone...another update...I have just finished my open water dives!!! I had trouble clearing my ears after the first dive on Sat so I did not go back in But Sun I made three dives and I had no trouble. My teacher said my ears were sore because I couldn't control my bouyancy and dropped to quick thus my E-tubes swelled. Sun was great..I made up for the dive I missed and did the rest with no problem. I really could get into this. We went into the thermocline and that was cold but felt so good because we all were wearing 7mm suits and were hot. Our deepest dive was apx 45 feet that was enough for me! Saw lots of fish what else?? I just had a great time...

Way to go FillyLove... Now you just need to move to Florida, where we say "Thermocline??? Whats a thermocline???"

:tease:

Author's note... we actually (and I in particular) know what a thermocline is... it was merely a rhetorical device: definitions are not needed... ;-)

:mario: did you really mean to ask that question, or should it have read "So... where are you gonna go first, and can you take me along as your dive caddy?"

DiveCaddy:goofy: - The person you bring along on diving trips to lug all that heavy gear around and help get it set up while you test the lawn chair for comfort. Then after a days diving they break it all back down and pack it up while you are seeing if the beer in the cooler is cold!

I have a "no-caddy" policy unless, I get a Thai massage in return...
