So in our last session in the pool yesterday, we were just hanging out - we'd completed all the tasks successfully and the instructor signaled that he was ripping up the cards and to have fun. I was working on neutral buoyancy, kind of in the zone, and the instructor comes past and rips my mask off. Wham! Funny thing was, my first thought was "hmmm, now that's interesting" and reached for my mask and snorkel, found them somehow, put them back on and cleared. I'm breathing right? Pffft. What's the worry?
Sounds a bit rough of a lesson I suppose (we're both gung-ho military, so kinda used to such antics - he wouldn't do that with the other civs), but it boosted my confidence 1000fold. Training kicked in without a thought. No panic. Man, I love good training!
Should have flipped him the bird underwater, but I was too pleased with myself to think bad thoughts! haha
