There’s a new T-Shirt shop online at www.suckairscuba.com . It is still under construction so it’s kind of rough, but you can still order things from it. The designs are available on many different types of shirts and sizes. You can pick the one you want. Stop in and see what’s available.

Ok I've been messing around here on the site and one of the polls and a few comments got stuck in the back of my head.  How does one become an experienced diver?  Answers range from AOW diver(9 dives) to over 500 dives. I'm not sure any of these answers are correct. Divers gain their experience differently.  Some can become very good divers in a month because they dive 3 or 4 times a day in all conditions and with different people.  Others can have thousands of dives over 30 years and still look like an OW student on his 4th dive.  I have met both kinds of divers. Some of the OW students I've seen look like the have been diving for years. Hovering to look at things looking like they are waiting to take that perfect picture. On the other hand I have met some Divemasters and Instructors that look like they need to go back through the OW class. Sculling their arms, crawling on the bottom, unable to maintain neutral buoyancy, etc.  Those people think they are better than they are, and I believe the only difference between them and some of the OW students is their Rescue and Emergency knowledge. I'm not here to rant about bad instructors. I have met very few that are like that, but the point I'm trying to make is that being an experienced diver isn't always about how many dives you have under you belt.  It's about your knowledge and ability to apply that knowledge in the underwater environment. 

Ok now that that's out of my head I can finally stop thinking about it. This is just my opinion and I could be wrong, but I won't know it until something comes along to change my mind.

Finally i'm going to get out of work before 8pm!!! I have way too much to do. Got to get glue for girlfriends wrist seals, find money somewhere, and try to find a dive partner before it gets too late.

But i don't really care because it will still be daylight when i get out of here. WOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I NEED to get back in the water!!!! It's been almost two weeks and I haven't even been able to get into the pool with a class much less the OW. These 13 and 14 hour workdays are killing me.  I'll be glad when my pace gets back to normal. I also need to get to a dive shop before they close sometime. Got to fix my girlfriends wrist seals so she can finally get back in. GGGGGGGRRRRRRRR!!! I hate being frustrated like this. Oh well I guess I signed up for it. PPPPPBBBBBTTTTTTT!!! Time to get back to surfing around looking at stuff I wish I was doing.
