Breathing underwater for the first time!!
The most fun in the pool was the ten minutes or so they gave us at the end of each session, just to swim around. The whole thing of being underwater and swimming and breathing was just sooooo cool (BTW, 250 dives later, it still is!)
On the OW dives, what was most amazing to me was on the fourth one, on "tour", when the instructor picked up a little decorator crab and let me watch it crawl across his glove. It was a tiny thing, with long, spindly legs all tufted with the stuff he had chosen to decorate himself with, and it was like nothing I'd ever seen before. My introduction to the delight of finding and recognizing the incredible variety of creatures that live in the sea.

Look, I'm an atom!
Being able to do the exercises, breathing underwater!
the most fun...was beign surrounded by 7 good looking women..and being the only male.
The best part after that was diving on a ship wreck for the first time. Our last check out dive. 30 feet deep swiming around an old paddle wheeler...I was hooked.

The funniest in the pool was the remove and replace of gear underwater.
It's been a long time since my OW weekend but I still remember seeing that green water and perch going down that decent line for the first time. Apparently after 200 or so lake dives, I still haven't gotten enough.

The other people in the class !
Okay, I'm a weirdo, but the most fun in my OW class was when the instructor pulled up the web page that I'd created that randomly created dive table problems (with answers, of course) and used it to give us some extra NAUI dive table practice. In some very small way, I was helping teach the class (if you think about it creatively), and I've always delighted in helping people learn.
(You know, I ought to extend it to include gas laws and especially gas consumption problems. I've got nothing better to do with my free time between dives, at least until my LDS gets around to starting a DM class, already.)

Taking of the Horse Collar BC after class.
Think of a strap the goes between your legs.
We learned to do the giant stride with no air in your BC.
