Underwater Adventures

About 3 and a half years ago I took a scuba diving class and never went again. Then as Suzy and I were signing up for classes I convinced her that we should take a scuba diving class. She agreed (which surprised me) and then told me about Jerry Seinfeld and his stand up comedy about scuba diving.

Last Wednesday was our first day getting into the pool. Suzy was there with the beginners class and I was with the intermediate, although I should have been with the beginners class. So my instructor has us put on our dive gear in the water. Everyone dropped their gear into the water and I was the last one to get into the water. There was only one more that was floating around and so I grabbed it and quickly put it on (which was incredibly difficult and you'll see why) because the instructor was already taking off without me. We did a few exercises under the water to refresh and I did okay except for the emergency share air... I should be dead. When we surfaced I noticed that my gear was not the same one that I had on land and that it was crushing my chest and rib cage. I then started to look around at the other diver's gear and noticed that some skinny girl had put my gear on and that I was now wear gear 3 sizes too small and designed for a girl... Everyone had a good laugh at that one and the girl felt bad, but she did look funny in a BC that was way too big for her.

So you've all read the previous post right? If not, stop now and read it before continuing. I was feeling pretty cool because I had my new watch that is 50 Meters (164.041995 feet) water resistant and my instructor had said that we were going to have to keep track of our bottom time (time spend at some preset depth). So when he asked us who had a watch I quickly looked at my awesome brand new watch that my wonderful wife had bought me only to have my joy turned to pure horror upon seeing the watch full of water and broken. 50 meters my butt, I didn't even go deeper then 12 feet.

Well, we had a great time scuba diving and can't wait to go again next week. I wonder what I can destroy or mess up next time...
