well last night we had our first scuba class....in the pool!!!! yay!! it was sooooo much fun. first, it took us a long time to get into our gear (it was hard!!) and then we stood in the shallow 4-foot end going over techniques, then we went underwater (in the shallow end) and practiced them, then we went into the deep 12-foot end!!!!!! we just swam around getting used to it for a few minutes, then we went back up, and we went over more techniques, including clearing and replacing our masks. we had to keep them off for a whole minute. i had a moment of panic when i took mine off..... i couldn't see AT ALL. then, we did some swim tests. then, we packed up our gear. it was really fun!! for some reason, i used almost twice as much air as everybody else. dad had to fill up my tank halfway through. but it was really really really really fun!!!!!
