Hello,
I am in the process of getting my PADI Open Water Diving Certification in SoCal. I had the first pool session on 7/18, but nothing since then.
I am scheduled to have my first open water dive off a boat this coming Sunday 8/9.
As of today I have all the gear for this coming open water dive (wetsuit / bcd / tank / regulator / weights / gloves / fins / mask / snorkel / boots).
I will have access to a pool by the end of the week, and was planning to use that opportunity to refresh my memory / re-practice mask clearing / proper trim etc under water, but found out that since I'm yet to be certified, I can't use the tank under water unsupervised...
So - without using the tank - how would you suggest I use that private pool time to best get back up to speed?
Alternatively, any suggestions re: "extending" my snorkel so I could still breathe while remaining underwater for a while?
