after a long wait since my physical....Did my dive today at 9:00!!!
also proud of myself that I was down there for 70 minutes!!:yay:
came back up with 900 pounds...I thought I would have sucked that thing down in 40 minutes.....
I was proud of that until they guy I was diving with came back with 2000 still in his tank!!! 1000 pounds in and hour...:yuk:
Oh well, continue to practice.........but Sally got to see me over the tunnel!!!! Thanks Sally...I hope I look professional in there! Alwhile maintaining perfect neutral buoyance.
Fun stuff....many tales to tale in there..
Wow.

Air!!
well i thought you were talking about air but I remember when you first said something about diving in the GA aquarium you said you would be cleaning up fish poop and cleaning the glass and things like that. So thats why i got confused. I hope to be a diver soon though.

That's awesome, how did you swing that gig?
I have to live vicariously through you since I'm deathly afraid of water deeper than my ankles :(.

I am envious, but Sunday opening will eventually come. I am really glad you made it - it sounds like it was worth the wait.
