Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus

Just to prove to everyone that indeed we are getting scuba certified, here are some photos that our instructor sent from our pool dives this past week:

Aren't we good-looking in the gear? ;-) This weekend we're hitting the ocean to finish up the certification course. Today we did 2 dives to about 40 feet around a reef that was just off the seawall about 2 stones throws from our apartment. (Should we stop rubbing in how great our ocean access is? Nah, ok, I didn't think so. Just checking!) It was fun stuff. The water a little choppy but decent. That is, according to our instructor & her assistants who are the experts - we sure wouldn't know! ;-) Everything went well. We continued to get more & more comfortable understanding the gear & our body's buoyancy when it's attached to a tank & miscellaneous hoses & a vest with 30+ lbs of weight in it, surrounded by the ocean! Tomorrow, we do 2 more dives & then we'll be ready to just have some fun instead of worrying about obeying our instructor. ;-) Come visit! Josh (& Betsy)

That looked cold! I am so glad I got to get certified in sunny Florida! Now we can talk scuba talk. [shh. The first rule of scuba is you don't talk about scuba]
