What may have thrown you, was a real rarity,..... I was in a wetsuit instead of my drysuit :shocked2:.

i dont think i was paying alot of attention to the surrounding at first, being the first time without the instructors that taught us around, and it being just me and my buddy, we were double checking and triple checking everything possible. just worried about something little going wrong. but lucky we were taught well enough and it was an awesome dive.

Glad to hear things went well. After assisting Larry, I was able to get on my scooter for a while & had a great dive also.

Awesome, using a DPV sounds like a lot of fun, i should definatly look into doing the certification for that.

 

[tstormdiver]

DPV's are a lot of fun. However they can get you into trouble quicker also.

how that?

Because they propel a diver much faster than they can normally can swim. You can be on top of something before you know it. You must always be aware of what's around you & must also think ahead more than a swimming dive, because you're moving through the water faster. Because of the increased speed, they can also take you up or down much faster, causing the potential for injury.
