Aah, the newly cert'd OW Divers guided tour
by blackvans1234 on June 23rd, 2011 at 11:20 PM
Location: Dutch Springs
When we had our first guided dive as ''certified divers'', our dm (awesome guy) took us all over the place. Our buoyancy was exceptional for beginners, so we went;
-Descend onto firetruck 25ft
-Follow guide rope to school bus
-Follow rope to airplane
-Photo-Op at airplane
-Took compass heading to the helicopter (supposed to be at 60+ feet, was only at 50, good for OW divers )
-Took heading until we came across a guide
OW students 1 : Instructors 0

During my O/W cert this past weekend, our group of invalid-wannabe divers was composed of some lady we'll call betty, a guy we will call john, joel, my sister kerry and I.
There was the dive instructor chet, and two divemasters, mike and mary. A ratio of 3:5. Fairly managable if you ask me
It was on our third OW dive, and we were at a 25' platform doing our skills. The next skill up was the good ol' CESA. DM Mary surfaced, to corral us upon surfacing. Dive instructor
