Scuba dive

Feels like I haven’t slept in ages. I haven’t gotten more than 5-6 hrs sleep the past 2 weeks! Multitude of things happening, all terribly interesting and demanding way much attention. I’m glad to be busy.

There will come a day soon, when I will crash.

Until then…..I’ve enrolled into a scuba diving class. This idea started with my love for water, ocean. I want to surf, but could not join the surf group last weekend…which got me into thinking about scuba. I still don’t know how exactly I got into it…oh yes I remember now! There is the ‘San Fran Adventurers Group’ that’s scuba diving in Channel Islands end of March...and that’s how it began.

PADI- Professional Association of Diving Instructors is the most renowned scuba certification.

  1. Scuba course fee = $150-300 (Incl. instructor fee, pool fee, equipment fee etc.)
  2. Personal gear= $150-400 or more! (Incl. snorkel, gloves, mask, fins, booties).

Now, do not confuse this ‘booties’ with the other booty we all are familiar from the very verbose glib of hip/hop with my hustling homies.

I’ve decided to invest my time and money into this sport...and I already know where to scuba dive once certified! Hawaii or Red Sea (Egypt). So this scuba class is every Tue, Thur for 2 weeks. Second weekend is an ‘Ocean Dive’ at Monterrey. Yippeeeeeeee…..cant wait!!

As I’m reading more on scuba, there is a lot more physics about buoyancy control, regulating breath, pressure-volume-density under water, speed of light and sound under water etc. I love Physics and its been a pleasure relearning some of the basics!

Anyhoo..first class today~03/11/08
