VICTORY POST! Open water certified

[lozadora]

Hi all,

I'm very excited because yesterday I completed my fourth dive so became PADI Open Water certified. I've posted about it in my blog linked below.

I am so excited and I'm already thinking about when I can go diving next.

I have to says though, the instructor I had was so quiet and rushed through the skills. So from that respect it wasn't the best experience. HOWEVER - amazing experience.

Congratulations! And, I'm glad to hear that you're excited to go diving again soon. The best thing that happened to me was finding out that friends and co-workers also dive -- it got me invited on a lot of great day trips this summer. I'm not sure how much I would've gone out this summer without their kindness and their insistence that I come diving with them.

Oh, but now you've done it! There'll be no stopping the hemorrhaging of your wallet from now on.


Congratulations.

Congratulations!

Now the real work begins as you gain experience through diving. You have the basic skills needed fresh in you mind.

Congrats. Keep practicing those open water skills. Find new buddies through your LDS, local dive clubs, Scubaboard, Facebook, or wherever. Keep diving!

Good job. I second the idea of continuing to practise the skills at least now and again. This was something I failed to do. I recall getting the final handshake and "Congratulations you are an OW diver". Can't
beat that feeling.
