My First Dive!

So today I went on my first dive! OK, ok...it's not technically a real dive in open water but in a small pool. Sport Chalet in Pleasanton offers free introductory scuba lessons on every third saturday of the month and all you have to do is sign up on their schedule. In a nut shell it was short video, then fitting for gear, and finally in the water! It was a pretty cool experience. Not sure if I will be going for the cert...yet? The gear is pretty costly, but it's a whole different world under water...we'll see.

You should try to do it! As I get older and older, my fear of the water becomes greater and greater. I used to be a daredevil in the water, but I think I get scared now because I know my fitness isn't very good LOL. Your own gear isn't very cheap, but the only people that I know that own gear are people who dive weekly. Outside of that, rentals are the way to go especially since you would want to dive around the world - and not lug around all that gear.

do you get certified in blue hole NM? If so beware it's cold (62f year around).
