Celebrate!

WooHoo!!I did it today. I did my Navigation checkout dives and did my final perfect. My buddy sucked up all his air so for the final check out the instructor was my buddy and timer. For my pattern I chose a triangel, we left off the rope marker as the start and exit I did 270 for three minutes, 30 for three minutes and 150 for the last three minutes we surfaced and he told me that was really good as he thinks a triange is one of the hardest to do. Our visiblity by the way was 3-5feet. Real bad, so relying on my compass was not difficult as it was all I could see.

I now have completed Boat Diving, Night/low visiblity diving and Navigation. I will soon be completed the Deep Dive Modules and will be certified AOW SSI. My instructor told me to do the Stress and Rescue next spring and complete out Master Diver certification. This is really exciting to me, I know that it may not mean a whole lot but to me it is one heck of an accomplishment.

I know from all this that I really prefer ocean diving, but the lake and river are in driving distance, I don't have to fly there and I can get experience.

Happy Diving!!!!

You navigated the ocean floor
With your compass you found the shore!
Navigated a triangle too!
Oh Seangel, we’re proud of you!

SeaAngel, SeaAngel,

Vis was only five feet too
In the end you pulled right through!
That you could do it, of course we knew!
Now, you’re a Navigator too… woo hoo hoo!!!!!!!!
