we had our breakfast and then met teh group. there are 9 of us in total learning and we have 2 instructors and 2 dive masters michael davo jimy and hedrick. we 1stly learny how to assemble and disemble teh gear we were doing thi sout by teh pool and it was really pouring hard good job we had our wet suits on! anyway it wasn't long before we were in the pool just putting our heads under and breathing through the regualtor . we then moved on and put all our gear on and submerged in the shallow end kneeling in teh water. we had to practise lots of different things liek clearing our masks taking the regulator out and even taking our masks right off and putting it back on agian and getin all teh water out. its realy quite simple you just breath out through your nise and tilt ur head upwards! but its a very stange feeling and i even had a bit of a oughing fit under water! after a quick break we got to swim to teh deep end (wow!) and do some equalization for our ears and some floating tehniques we ethen had to swim to teh shallow end without our mask on and then out i on when we got there. we also had to practice breathing form our buddys secondary regulator. this afternoon has been back in teh classroom (yawn yawn) the best thing about today is that damo cant talk under water!! ha ha!
