long dry summer

Posted August 21st, 2008 at 10:20 by slimsteve

Its been a while since I posted and it has been a long dry summer for me. Inflationary pressures up, work hours down, major plumbing repairs, daughter had to be rescued from out of state moves in then moves out and had to dump major money into signing up for diplomat program at work to get extra letters behind name so I stand a better chance of going full time so no diving till 36 hours from now. Headed to Rhode Island where water entry are sandy beaches not boulder strewn washing machine.

Overall I struggled in the course. But I learned a lot, it just took awhile to get my head straight and appreciate it. Not having a lot of opportunity to dive, I wanted to take the first day of open water to get comfortable. Unfortunately FIT has the activities all planned out. I could have stepped back and taken the time I needed to get comfortable, but I just went for it. I had trouble getting the Diving Reflex to kick in.

Spearing update

Ya well The spearing course held my Rob Allan and Jeremy Williams of The Dive Factory was a great success, over 40 attended this course and learnt more in three days than an individual can accumulate in years. Some experienced spearos made startling discoveries by listening in.

It just goes to show that no matter what your personal level of skill, you can always learn something new.

It looks like we will be forced to host another entry level course soon as there are...

After some Dives with cdavis and then a cut on my hand I had to lay low for a while to let my cut heal up. So I've stayed pretty dry. I spent a couple of days just relaxing at my parents, then yesterday (Thursday the 31st) I came to Ft Lauderdale. I had to pick Wreckrunner up from the airport. We went to his buddies house and ran some errands to get ready for a night dive on scuba to see if we could locate a lobster or two. While waiting we spent about 45min in his friends pool and worked on...
