Scuba - Lecture 2

Lecture 2 was a bit more intense tonight, with all the diving science. Pressure, how it affects you, how to handle this that and the other!!
Can't really say my head was there tonight, it was off somewhere else entirely.... dunno if that was such a good thing. I understood everything basic science really, so lets just hope that I can nail it!!
I am sure by now everyone just thinks that diving is falling off the back of a boat and you fart ass around in the water. But it isn't. There is so much more to it.....
What I can't wait for is just being down there, in that peace.
I used to love just sitting in my swing and listening and looking.
That whole feeling of tranquility. You can't understand it until you have felt it...
In your own time with no pressure, no nagging, no fear, no anxiety no stress, no nothing. Its just you and this calm.
Under the water there are perils, I mean that should be obvious, but that is expected.
If you take note of your training, what you should know, look for, adhere to, I don't see why it can't be the most enjoyable experience of your life.

There are no dangerous animals, only dangerous situations. So if you " shoot Nemo in the eye with a spear gun, you can expect kak" but if you don't threaten anything, you won't be in any danger.
Tonights lesson. Don't be a dumbass. If you don't want to do a dive don't, be aware of your buddy, see how he is whether he can or can't.
In any situation, stay calm and breathe normally. Never ever hold your breathe.

Ok lights out for me, these early mornings and having to concentrate is killing me, among other things!
