Certifications and more certifications

Its October and we've already wracked up Open Water Diver, Dry Suit Diver, and Nitrox Diver. Now we know we're really in for it. Diving is fun! And we've learned by now that we aren't fair weather divers. We've decided to go for it - buying all our gear so we can get comfortable with it, and make many more dives right here in Monterey. Sounds like this isn't for everyone - there are plenty of people who don't see the point of all the hard work of cold water diving. Dry suit, lots of weight, poor visibility. But on the other hand, there is a lot to see, much of it on a small scale - you have to get right up close. I love finding something small and secret - unnoticed by most people, but yet a treasure. After a dive, I can keep the image in my mind of a perfect small anemone - not more than an inch across - different than any other anemone I've ever seen...

Looking forward to taking the Advanced class soon!
