saturday

so I'm tired, plenty tired, mostly vitamin D though, alot of sun, and my face is burned. Diving is fun as hell, i highly recommend it if affordable. it is not a cheap hobby. slept like shit and woke up at 5:45 then sat and studied. Master Vic and I had class from 8:30 to about 10:30. then got gear and went to Pepperdine University's pool. That school is just sweet, cliff side over the bluffs of malibu over looking the pacific. perfect day, blue skys 74 degrees. The valley i reside looked like it was gonna thunderstorm all day too. so ha! But putting the gear on and getting into the water with the first breaths is pretty exhilarating. equalizing the ears is difficult for the first couple trips to the bottom but you get used to plugging your nose, blowing and swallowing then it's cake. getting the bouyancy timing down is the hardest thing, too much air lost and you're at the bottom quick and that ain't good. too much air inflated into your vest and you shoot up to the top and thats really not good, but you get the hang of it quickly. I got to share respirators with MVic, and we got damn close to share air. and emergency pull techniques that were overtly sexual, so much so that this is the only place I will practice them, i think that shit was in the kama sutra.

I'm pooped though, it's fun as hell but alot of work. I have to be back up tomorrow morning only somewhat early. i'll be up by 6:30 to make some gourmet sandwiches of our own. good lunches, yogurt, balance bars, bananas, sandwiches, sun chips (mmmmmm sun chips) and a bit of candy to boost you back up at the end of the day. mental note, spf 45 tomorrow for day two and longer intervals down. the gear is clean and hopefully dry by tomorrow. i'm bringing the camera tomorrow just so y'all can see how butt white my legs are. woof, it's time for those things to get tan, now. i thought all my biking woulda gotten them some color but nope.

peed out, go diving!
