    DIR-F July 1-4

    I've signed up for Martin's DIR-F running July 1-4. At the moment, there are three people likely to attend if anyone else is interested.

    Yeah, I need to time my backstroke but I don't think it'll be a problem. If I try doing a crawl, I'll drown before I hit 300 yds.

    I suggest not practicing skills.... getting a good feel for trim and bouyancy is fine but hold off on kicks and skills until the class...

    Practicing Situational Awareness is always good also... Good luck

    I may swap out my blue harness for the stiff black one I have but that would be just temporary since I know how tech instructors tend to go "Like owmahgawd! whtRU wearing?!?!!111one?eleven? It's BLUE! And a bit FLOPPY!" I argued with Tom for about 20 minutes about it. I still have time to try to find a stiff blue webbing though.

    Hmm, Hammerhead plate, Oxycheq Vertex wing and rental regs and doubles. Not a whole lot of H gear there
