My Padi OW course starts tomorrow and would like to know of anything I shouldn't forget to do or bring.

I have watched the video twice and read the first two chapters (skim read the rest of the book).

The course is at a private pool, so some obvious things I will be bringing are a bathing suit, towel, and change of clothes. I also will bring my mask, fins, snorkel and maybe my shorty wetsuit. Not sure how warm/cold the pool is. I guess it’s better to be safe then sorry.

Any other things I should do before I head out tomorrow?

Sun tan lotion, maybe some snacks and something to drink.

Relax, you're gonna have a blast!

Enjoy it man...

There is something most of the experienced divers take for granted... Breathing underwater... it becomes second nature (or first nature)...

P.S. remember to document your feeling when you first breathe underwater if you haven't done it before... its something you can enjoy reading after 5 years or 10 years...

What courses would you recommend I look into after completing my open water certification? I though of taking advance, and nitrox diving. This would allow me to go see some of the wrecks around Vancouver Island.
