I finally got around to enrolling in a
scuba diving
certification course, since the wedding cruise is coming up in January,
and I'd like to be able to do more than float around on the surface looking
at the cool stuff from a distance. Erica was
certified as an Open Water Diver when she
was in college, so she's taking a refresher along with me. I've finished
half the classroom work at this point (and finish the last of it tonight),
and we did our first "confined-water" dive on Sunday (held in a local
high school pool). I suspect we'll do the second confined-water dive this
coming Sunday, and then we'll do the final open-water dives down in
Kankakee over the course of an
upcoming weekend. At that point, I'm a certified Open Water Diver. Woot!
