One more pool dive on Wed. then our OW dives this weekend!!! I'm so excited I can't see straight.
Last night's pool dive was a bit rough though. Couldn't seem to get the weight right. I was struggling way to hard to get/stay down. I really worked hard on using my breathing to help but it seemed I was taking in less air than I was putting out to stay down. On more than one occasion the b/f or instuctor had to help me get down or stay down for exercises. But I refuse to give up!!! My weight belt is already set up for Wed. night and this time it is right!
If weighting is my biggest problem then I am happy. I seriously feared the mask removal exercises, but I survived all of them too so the rest is a breeze.
Our instuctors let us try out thier BC's and Shannon went right out and got his. He loves it. Mine will be next week. Of course it won't do me much good for the OW dive now will it?? lol It will be nice just to get those weight bags off my hips. They HURT.
Well, thats my update. I hope it doesn't boore you to tears lol.
