Last Saturday I took my Scuba class. It was a 8+ hour day of study and pool time. In a nutshell it was allot of hard work. My ears still have some issue equalizing the first time I goto depth. I really wont know how I take it in the ocean until get in it. The pool is different since you cannot go that deep. I ended up getting a migraine during the last piece of the class. I was able to complete all the scuba pieces of it, but I got a bit sick after that. I tried to do the last part (treading water for 10 minutes) but I was shivering and freezing. The instructor said I could come back later in the week and complete it. the pool was closing very soon and I didn’t have time to warm up and try again. I got home from the class that night and went right to bed.
later that next week I did my tread water test. that was the easiest part of the whole class. I was able to just lie in the pool and not touch the side or bottom for 10 minutes. All I have left is my 4 open water dives. I hope to do them all in Cancun next week.
