1st Ocean Dive

[nitestalker]

First, Hello Everybody! I just happened to find this site while searching a few things and decided to sign up since I am working on my C-card.

Anyway, I am taking a class at SDSU and we did our first Ocean Dive last Thursday and it was PERFECT. We dove La Jolla Shores with perfect conditions: very little surf/longshore current and a great water temp. We have had about 4 pool sessions and it was great to finally get out and see some action!
We began with some drills: Face mask off - identify hand signals - replace/clear mask,
Ditch/Don Gear, and some surfacing practice and then it was time for the actual dive - 40ft. for 35min.

Great! It's a blast, ain't it. Just learn your training well, as that's what you follow when your dive, or the dive guide, goes to caca.

I'm new too, received my certification with my wife and friends this past July. We try to incorporate a basic skill in every dive to make sure it is set with us. We do it early and fairly shallow to avoid OOPS. This has helped our confidence with diving.
