Just Got My Certification

Do you have spring straps on your fins?
I have them on my Jet fins and it makes putting them on and taking them off in the water much easier.

I don't have spring straps but I've been taking a look at them. That could be an option for sure. Mostly is was human error in my case, .

I dove with a lady in Cozumel last month, she was 89. Smoked during the SI too.

If her name is Sally, we know her.

I seem to recall that you did your first shore dive on Cozumel

Perhaps sometime soon we can go back to Casino Point with a large Goodie Bag and collect all the gear that people lost there. We'll just put up a big "Lost and Found" sign and post whatever isn't claimed here on SB. There is probably some big grouper down there taking videos of divers with a lost GoPro.

I'm all for returning to Catalina, especially since now I know what to expect. I'd like to go during the week some time after September 1st. My guess is that it will be less busy especially on a weekday.

I'll start checking Groupon!

Spring straps are my favorite investment! I used to hate putting my fins on during shore dives, but now it takes just a few seconds.

Spring straps are a big help. I have also learned that nittle stones and bits of shell can get inside the clips of some other fins, creating problems and possibly breaking the mechanism. Spring straps are pretty indestructable.

Got back today from dive #4, and my Open Water Certification.
After many years of wanting to do get it, I just did.
I appreciated what all the Instructors and Assistant did, International Scuba (Carrollton, TX) makes a very serious process enjoyable.
Now time to go and enjoy my certificate.

Congratulations, sir. I have wanted this for a long time also and will be getting certified shortly. Many happy dives!
