    PADI OW certified finally!!!

    Yeah I do have my own mask, and I was fitted for it by doing that inhaling and letting it suction to my face....but once under water it would start leaking. It was determined that my hood was the main cause so I took my hood off for the next dice then I was fine. I got a new mask (my second...

    OW Cert w/o learning Dive Tables?!?!?

    In my OW class last month, I asked about the dive tables. My instructor was not planning on teaching that to us as we all had RDP's. Though those things are easy to use, I asked him what would happen if it failed? I asked him to show us how to use the tables. The students in the class did...

    How to pee every time

    I just told everyone I had to go check the props (as in propeller), and then walked into the water...(we were doing shore dives so it took everyone a moment to figure out there were no props, and they got the hint):rofl3:

    To those considering an OW class...

    I am taking one of the new PADI quick classes or whatever they are called. I chose this as I do not have the time to do a lengthier course as I work and go to school. I like the fact that we can do all of the book work and reading on our own...I retained much more doing it at my own pace than...
