Classy Diving II


Diving King's Spring with Open Water students again... Went to Crystal River with Gibby again, he had a half class of new students and brought his nephew along too. We took off on our own so I could show him through the cavern while Gibby and Capt. John did compass exercises with the students. Had a nice time, but it's definitely time to start getting into the Gulf and out of the rivers for the summer.

Classy Diving

I went diving for the first time in 10 or 11 years this weekend. My friend Gibby has been assisting with PADI open water certification classes in Crystal River. He got me to go along for a refresher course. I was pretty surprised how I remembered everything once we actually started doing it. On Sunday we dove King's Spring and I passed through the small cavern there at about 45 feet with no apprehension or worries at all. Still trying to get better control over my bouyancy, but hey, what diver isnt? Hopefully this will lead to a summer full of diving and spearfishing.
