Well my wife and I finished our checkdives yesterday, and I'm proud to announce there are two new NAUI certified SCUBA divers today!!!
All went well on the checkdives except for a little trouble with my BCD... When I was doing my BC remove and replace skill demonstration I had a little problem. When I was trying to get it back on I knocked my weight belt loose and it fell off. Fortunately it fell accross my calf and with my leg bent I was able hold it there and maintain my position. So then I get my BC back on, but the cummerbund has folded under and I couldn't secure my BC. So I'm struggling to get the left side of the cummerbund back out, holding my weight belt on my right calf.
I never panicked, but I did suck down some serious air during this exercise.. So I finally get the cummerbund out and BC secured, and I'm ready to put the weight belt back on... As luck would have it as I get prone with the weight belt around me it's on backward...:11doh: So I had to get it turned around and going the right way. Finally I get it back on correctly.... Though it was a struggle, and I blew through some air doing all of this, I was quite proud of myself for not panicking, and just working through the situation as best I could.... All in all it was a fun day at Ginnie Springs in Florida....
