    I just don't log dives
    Someone said "SCUBA diving is not swimming, it is flying through a thicker atmosphere."

    Pretty good blog, although I find it really difficult to believe some of the "quotes" they put in from the 10 year old.

    "Oskar – I felt exceptionally proud of myself for having completed my second confined water dive; especially the mask removal and clearing. I found the weight removal very tricky because I had trouble getting the weights onto my back whilst avoiding the tank and then grabbing the end of the belt and threading it through the clasp and doing it back up again. I found Daddy’s BCD removal on the surface very funny as well."

    Call me crazy, but those are not the words of a 10 year old.

    Perhaps they're not supposed to be quotes, but the implication is that they are.

    Pretty good job showing what OW certification is like, though.
    Missing the countdown timer.

    Next dive trip: May 27 - June 6, 2012 - Hotel Cozumel and Aldora Divers.
