Today after work Jim took me scuba diving. Where? In the Winona State pool. It was really neat. He did some skills training with me and my ears adjusted better than I thought they would. I always have trouble with them. The whole get-up was a little big and made for some uncomfortable times but it was well worth it. One of the outdoor pursuits classes he is helping teach right now is going through their scuba diving unit so he had them rented out for awhile and thought it would be good to see what its like to be in one, and for free. I learned right away that laughing, underwater, and goggles don't mix well. It was serious time and no laughing would be allowed. Jim was a good instructor and I hope the next time I have on a tank I will be about to jump off of a 20 foot boat somewhere off the coast of somewhere beautiful.
The picture obviously isn't me but I did give Jim the go ahead many times in the pool and did deflate myself like he is doing quite often. I learned that I am very buoyant.
