SCUBA Cert

For the last week I cut 4 hours out of my night and went to a SCUBA class. I then preceeded to cut 14 hours out of my weekend to go diving at La Jolla Shores. Where did those 34 hours go? Well, towards a lil plastic card with the the letters NAUI inscribed on it and the reassurance of the general public that I can go 60 feet under the water's surface. yay! Here I come Miami, Cozumel, Puerta Vierda, and Catalina Island. I shall conquer each of you to the depth of 60 feet!

Diving is actually a blast. Off of La Jolla Shores there is a ecological reserve and at about 50-60 feet there is an underwater canyon with a bunch of marine life. On the 5 dives I went on this weekend, a couple sharks, a halibut, a bat ray, a school of sheephead, and Mr. Crabs said, "Wuddup". Maybe it was the air I was exhaling, but I'll stick with the idea of a hearty exchange of the wave of a hand or a fin or a pincher. It's fun playing with the crabs, but after awhile they get a bit crabby, especially if you purge your regulator at them...
