I had my final pool session for scuba today. It involved the demonstrating the underwater swim and ten laps, then getting all the gear on and trying my best to get to the bottom of the pool. Despite strapping twenty pounds of lead to my waist, all the neoprene comprising the wetsuit is doing its best to keep me floating back to the surface every time I take a breath of air. When at the bottom of the pool, my knees are resting on the floor, but as soon as I breath in, I gently start to float away. Apparently this is just one of the things I'll get better at with practice.

Saturday morning (at 6 am) we meet to go down to Monterey for our ocean dives. Sunday is more of the same. I can't wait!
