Under The Sea...

Today was our first official day under the sea! For those of you who don't know, I was certified with PADI during 11th grade (in chilly Puget Sound) and I am the only girl in my program that has a head start. OH MY GOODNESS... what a difference 80' water makes!!! We spent about 30 minutes in the pool being instructed over the basics (it was FREEZING!) and then we went straight out to "Mexico Rocks," a five minute boat ride away under about 10-15 feet of water. It felt like bathtub water after being used to the cooler pool water. I was so amazed that everyone else got to actually do it on the FIRST day! I had to do so much bookwork before I was unleashed 3 years ago! According to our base director and dive instructor, Chris Toney, the other girls should all be certified in about a week! So cool! Chris' son (and my good friend) Cameron and I are working on becoming rescue divers in these 3 months. How cool would that be?
