3 By Sea

Pool week. Still. Today was an “easy day” as they like to say at dive school. Not because it’s really and easy day, but because saying it is an easy day makes it go a little smoother. We started at the normal time (0600) with some cals and a 3 mile run. The we spent most of the day on the pool deck and in the pool taking our “heavy” hits.

Heavy hits involve the imposer doing pretty much anything for 20 seconds (give or take…although I think they tend to err on the side of long) to you, your tanks and regulator. Mostly they devise ways to foul your hose and regulator around the manifold and first stage. Knots, loops, whatever. And you have to figure out how to breath and fix the whole mess. Usually you’re figuring all of this out without your mask and after you’ve been flipped and rolled across the bottom of the pool a couple of times.

The class as a whole did pretty well. We didn’t lose anyone today although one or two came close. We did get some pretty good pics of the action, so I may try to post those in a day or two.

That’s all the news for now.
