Up early this weekend to teach Open Water Confined pool classes. I had three students, plus Gavin with his Divemaster Candidate Jerry joined in at times so Jerry could see an OW class in process.
The students Sam, Marissa and Christian did a great job. Saturdays class was tough for Christian and Mariissa both being very fit and very little body fat got cold early and could not get warmed up no matter what we did, even though the pool is 79 degrees, they were troopers. We fixed this problem for Sunday, we outfitted them with wet suits and it made the day much more fun.
Sam, she stared out in a wet suit so she was warm all weekend. Her dad bought her a set of regulators Saturday when we got back to the shop. She used them Sunday morning for her dives.
They will all be good divers, Marissa and Christian will be doing their Open Water dive with Virginia Scuba on the first dive of the dive season at Millbrook Quarry the weekend of April 2. Sam is going to St Thomas with her family for Spring Break; she will finish her Open Water dives there, then go diving with her dad.
With the change in time, Saturday morning the sun was up when I got to the shop. Sunday morning it was still dark, not sure I am crazy about the whole time change thing.
Next weekend I am back in the pool again. At the moment I have five students, I would like to get three more people to join me. If you are currnetly doing e-learning, finish up and join me. If you have been thinking about it, sign up today, complete the e-learning course by Friday and join us next weekend!
