I am now a PADI qualified, open water, scuba diver.
Though the open water portion was just in Lake Chaparral — not very deep — the class was actually a lot of fun, and I can see myself actually GOING scuba diving now. I had no trouble with it, though, like Scott has said, going really deep (100ft and deeper) would freak me out I think. I’m qualified to 60 feet only, which doesn’t seem like it’d be too bad — though I’ve never been deeper than 25ft.
The lessons were a Christmas gift from Shelley — I think so she would have an excuse to lie on the beach in a tropical place — so thanks!
Well done .. when yoiu are next donw hewre i can tigh somehting weighty to you and see how dep you CAN go!!
Well done–now comes the really expensive part!! No more guesses about gifts–we can all contribute to renting an air tank for you.
