Sara and I spent time in the ocean all the time, but it is usually swimming or snorkeling. This Spring I thought it was about time I got training in scuba so Sara and I can explore under the water together on our trips to warm beaches – which is our favorite.
My first weekend was taking exams and learning and practicing skills in the pool at Beach Cities Scuba.
The gear is relatively comfortable in the pool, but man is it heavy on the pool deck. After about 6 hours in the pool I felt like a prune and had some interesting cotton mouth from breathing the dry tank air, but wow did we learn a ton of good stuff to stay safe under the water.
Next weekend its two ocean dives so wish me luck.
