Woot, free time in the pool today

[-mitch-]

Is it sad that I'm extremely excited about diving and I'm still in the 13' deep end of a pool? I haven't had a problem with reg recoverys or mask clearing, and equalizing (at least at 13') is a sinch. I really hope things continue to go this well and I can't wait to dive into AOW and some specialty courses.

We all have to start somewhere, Mitch....best of luck on the remainder of your course. Let me know if I can help out any.

Those are great signs. If you can clear at 13 you will probably have little trouble with the rest as long as you do so frequently so the pressure does not get ahead of you. The percent pressure change continues to lessen as you get deeper. After 30 feet on a gentle descent like following a slope I often never even notice.

The huge thing is that you're getting comfortable under water and with the gear. Now just go skin-diving in your spare time and you'll be at the head of the pack for sure.

Be sure to read some recent threads regarding when to do AOW. Different people do it at different times for different reasons.
