Scuba Fin

Whoops. That title was a typo but probably appropriate. So I will just leave it!

So, today, I started my scuba class. I got my book last night and attempted to read the whole thing starting around 9pm. That obviously didn't happen. So I got up at 6 to try and finish at least the first three chapters. Which, apparently, is way more than anyone else does because the scuba dude was SHOCKED I had done my homework. I guess I haven't gotten over school yet.

But scuba was AwESOME. So far, at least. Just being in the pool. Really bizarre, but awesome. It was so wierd breathing under water. At first, I couldn't stop laughing. And once I got over that, I had to remember to breathe deeply and continuously, just like the PADI book said. (Ah, PADI book--PADI's motto for scuba diving is "Meet People. Go Places. Do Things." So deep.) But now I want to swim around underwater all over the place. I'm really psyched about the boat tomorrow and diving in the OCEAN! And seeing fish instead of minature acorns. Although the pool was lovely. A little garden resort with all sorts of tropical flowers and colors and little resort-y people sitting on deck chairs. And the most wonderful towels ever. And a shower in a fake cave.

But ok, off to see what we can see of drenched Phuket. Apparently, the rainy season is not over. Sigh.

Oh, the one other awesome thing that the PADI video said was: If you ever get bored with scuba diving, it is your own fault. Ah, the wisdom of PADI.
