Week 5 of Scuba Diving was eventful in many ways. First, we all had to descend to the bottom of the deep end. When our instructor pointed to us we each, individually, had to remove our scuba gear, pull out the regulator, and swim to him. We signaled we were out of air and he let us get a few breaths. Then we had to swim back to our gear, find the regulator to get a breath, and put everything back on. After a couple tries I completed this excercise and moved on to SCUBA rescue techniques. We learned out to save a diver that was struggling on the surface and a diver that was unconscious on the bottom. A final test for the night involved descending to one side of the deep end with all your scuba gear on, removing your mask, swimming to the other side of the pool, putting your mask back on, and finally clearing your mask of water. All and all, session #5 wasn't bad but I still have a ways to come before I am completly comfortable with scuba gear in the water. Open water dives are approaching in 2 weeks!!!
Finally, we get to the fun stuff!! I'm turning 20 this weekend!! Fall Semester is nearly half way over with midterms in the next couple of weeks!! This means Fall Break, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas are getting closer. Australia: Spring 07 will be here before we know it!!

I must say I'm a bit green over the SCUBA adventure. On the other hand, Uncle Scott would be not only horrified to be underwater, but then to take off the equipment...well, he'd rather poke himself in the eye with a sharp stick. Send those bday photos to kristyn.spangler@gmail.com. Be well!
Post your bday pictures here for all of us to see!
