Hey, folks. This is my blog following up on my one last night. As I said, I passed my dive course and became a fully certified Open Water diver. We did our course at Porteau Cove, which was a lot like Whytecliff Park in that it was a beach with a lot of tree stumps lying around.

I had to arrive early because I had...

Had a physical today, and have been given a clean bill of health to continue my dive training, which I intend to do this coming weekend.

Now, the way the course has been set up is that there are four ocean dives: two at Whytecliff Park and two at Porteau Cove. I did one already @ Whytecliff and was working through the second when my...

I'm tired of making any effort at all to try and fix this.

WARNING: Long winded rant ahead. Sorry for it, but I need to vent.

Well, the past couple of days have certainly been filled with suck. Where do I begin?

1). Managed to lose $20 I knew I needed for other things at the casino tables @ the PNE, forcing me to dip into my dwindling reserve to cash to make sure I had food for...

Second week of dive classes over and done with, and I've got to say that I've found these two to be a lot easier. There were a number of things I wasn't too comfortable with (mostly the "giant stride" and "backward roll" entries), but on the whole, I'm beginning to feel a lot more comfortable underwater, and am looking forward to going to Whytecliff Park...
