floaty stuff

Andy and I went to the rec centre to test out some new gear. Between us (and borrowing a fair bit from joel) we just about manage to cobble together enough gear for one person. I tried out my new reg and computer. The reg is excellent, even if it is so tiny I'm convinced I might actually swallow it at some point. I like the computer apart from when it is going nuts and insisting I am full of nitrogen before I've even dipped a toe in the pool- basically it is confused by being at 7200 feet. Can't blame it, it still confuses me sometimes. Andy was flaunting his lovely transpac bc. I'd steal it, but it doesn't fit :-(.

Sorry this is a fairly dull post, but I am so excited by diving and the feeling of weightlessness and freedom it gives me that I just wanted to talk about it. Yes I am a big, excitable child.

LEFT: never hold your breath while diving. Never. Unless you are pulling tounges at your girlfriend and don't want those pesky bubbles to get in the way.



RIGHT: Andy and Klaus. This shot could be straight out of a PADI manual.. If it was horribly pixilated and both guys were wearing colour coordinated gear (I can't possibly dive with a nitrox tank, the yellow and green would clash with my blue wetsuit dahhling)











RIGHT: turn your monitor sideways and this picture will be the right way up..


RIGHT: arrgh!! the giant pale hairy legged monster claims another victim
