October 21-22, 2000 Haymarket Quarry
I'm certified! I'm finally certified!
No...not THAT kind of certified! I finally passed the written test --- and believe it or not - I didn't drown during the check out dive!
First off, I do have to thank my Mr. Miyagi (not his real name to protect the innocent) for leading me through the treacherous maze of scuba fashions...hahaha! Mr. Miyagi has the patience of a saint, as he tried to convince me that I really am naturally buoyant (now I'm both bouncy and buoyant! HAHAHA!!), and the fish aren't laughing at me...much...
Me (I'm the chubby Asian chick...DUH!!!) and my dive buddy Lisa (remind me that I hate her for being so thin!) trying to get into our wet suits. It was 8:00 in the morning, and only 50 degrees out...so I'm not really smiling - it was just so cold that my face froze like that...!
Heeheehee...here's the first group entering the water to their doom. Am I the only one that hears the JAWS theme song in the background?
Patrick and Carrie, coming back from their dive. Heeheehee...they look so funny in their hoods! And all that equipment was a *itch to carry up the hill, dripping wet, plus tired from the dive! If only we could have gills so we didn't need to lug the weight belt and the tank around!
Lisa and I filling out our dive tables after the dives. Remind me that I really do hate Lisa. She has NO RIGHT looking so adorable while I look like something that the tides washed in...at least I take comfort in that I have cooler shades then she does...hahaha!!!
And finally - the Graduating Class of 2000!!! WOOHOO!!!
OK - more pics are coming. These are just the ones that Carrie was kind enough to take and scan in. Mine are still being scanned...yes I'm slow, and your point is...?
