As a buddy of mine said after our DIR-F class:
Tired legs, sore back, bruised ego. It must be Monday after Fundamentals.

I guess I'll get my 2 bubbles in as well...I still think the best part was doing the swim in OW(we gotta do something about those underwater pillars eh sean).
I have also had some time to let it sink in and realized how much the course showed me my weaknesses and what I need to work on to become a dive ninja. Thanks Bill for providing that O-ring failure, it added a certain suprise element to our day. I hope to dive with you all again, maybe we might have better than 4 ft vis for an ascent/decent drill
wouldn't that be something...
I learned a lot about the gas "rules" and really like the simplicity of the calculations (easy to do on the fly).

doing a underwater swimming breathold in near 0' vis is kinda sketchy when in the shallows. I think those pillars could stand to be removed. Just glad my hands were in front of me.
For ever working on becoming a true "dive ninja".

bathing suit and goggles. Just ducked under the surface and went as far as we could. It was just off of shore.

I did my DIR-F in March.. in water of 4 C celsius (which is 39 degrees Fahrenheit). It is not much fun to do 5 dives on a day and remove your mask at those temperatures...
Fortunately we had a GUE instructor to keep us busy ";-)

I don't mind removing my mask in cold water ... removing my exposure suit, however, is a whole 'nother matter ... :11:
