SCUBA 2.0

Well, this weekend, I upgraded my SCUBA certification. I am now a PADI Advanced Open Water Diver. I am certified to dive up to 130' deep (I've been 110 as of yesterday) and I can theoretically navigate in low visibility water armed only with a compass and the knowledge that 27 of my kicks is approximately equal to 100 feet of travel. It also turns out that doing 5 dives in one day is extremely tiring. Also, if I have not had time to brag to you, I just purchased a pair of Powerisers, and they are believed to be arriving on August 31st. Pictures, I'm sure, will follow, and perhaps even broken bones (although hopefully not..). There have been slip n' slides (homemade) and trips to North Carolina (camping on the beach was involved) in the past month, none of which were written about until this time, and I hope you, faithful reader, were not off-put by my lack of correspondence. Until next time, hang in there.
