Pool session
In preparation for our upcoming trip to Belize, M and I had the first pool dives of our Open Water scuba certification (with Adventure Scuba on the UES). All I can say is, even for a trad climber, holy crap it's a lot of gear!
Reminds me a lot of climbing in the need for safety consciousness, buddy system and checks, and a constant eye on your lifeline (air instead of an attachment to keep you off the deck). Really enjoyed it, despite the pains of being a noob all over again, and looking forward to the open water dives in the Caribbean.
