Good job on completing your OW cert. Looks like you are the one that keep your cool under water and stayed with your buddy. I hope that I am that claim when i get out in the open water.

Kilo, you will love it.
I couldnt believe how good it was, nerves were soon taken over by excitement.
Dont worry about a thing when you get into OW for the first time.
Just remember that if you get into a panick, you can still breathe, and even if you cant, your buddy is there to help you, that's why you stay close and know where they are.


Trust me, at the end of your course you will wonder why you were nervous in the first place !!!

Diving is one of those things that you can never explain with mere words... ya just have to do it! Congrats!
Guess I'll throw my .02 in on defog... 500psi works great but is a PITA to rinse. I use Trident and put it in a small spray bottle. 1 spray on each lense.. leave it till right before I jump in. Quick rinse and I'm ready to go. And new masks always need a good "minty fresh" toothpaste scrubbing to get that silicone film off.
Have fun, Mick! It only gets better after your 1st OW plunge! Casey

Hay I must say that I had the time of my life this past Saturday. Now the water was cold the vis was about 25' to 30' sometimes about 15'.And that was because there was a storm that was moving in over the coast of so. cal. Friday,Saturday.On Sat we got to Casino Point about 0800 the sun was hidding behind the clouds for most of the day,I think that it came out after the third and last dive.It is one thing to see underwater life on tv but to see it up close for yourself is the only way to see it. We are going to be doing a boat dive off Anacapa in a week or two. Then we well be all cert.

Catalina is always fun. As a San Diego resident I get to go there often... though I must say that I enjoy San Clemente trips more.
