We were fitted for our wetsuits to wear this weekend during our open water diving certification.

These are 7mm (1/4") suits - they are for water temps between 59 degrees and 68 degrees..

 

We will also be wearing gloves, booties and a hood.

I will still probably be cold.

Tonight we went underwater.

Not gonna lie, I have slight moments of panic when we first went down with the regulator.

However, I powered through all of the exercises, including switching to my buddy's 2nd stage regulator, filling the mask with water and clearing it, and having the air in the tank completely turned off for a moment. 

By the end I was feeling a bit more confident.

We have one more classroom session and one more pool session, then next weekend we have the big dive for certification.

I can do this.
