At least I hear things now. When I was learning, I was so tunnel visioned on gages and following steps that I never heard anything. Now I hear more, if that makes any sense. The alarm on my dive computer is almost useful.<BR/><BR/>CH: It is pretty easy to get open water certified. You could essentially do it in a week. You study the book and do all of the questions. At the end of the week you review it with an instructor, take a test, do some pool tasks, then do a couple of dives. Presto, Open Water certified. You are allowed to go down to 60', which most things you want to see are 60' and above anyway. Renting equipment gets expensive after a while, and it is hit and miss, so you will eventually want to get your own gear. You normally don't need tanks though. There is a lot more to say, but that can get you going....Of course snorkeling can be just as fun or more, and it doesn't cost anything to get certified! :-)Crazy Computer Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00050349204017128913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23284097.post-57481515626687052792007-06-06T16:24:00.000-04:002007-06-06T16:24:00.000-04:00So how hard was it to get certified as a diver? th...So how hard was it to get certified as a diver? that just sounds so cool. Although I'm sure it won't go over well with Summer. Just what I need.

No way in you know where I'd go down there willingly...even with a tank on my back.<BR/><BR/>Oh and by "go down there" I was speaking of under the water. Just clarifying that for your dirty mind!juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14886624637295292117noreply@blogger.com
