This weekend a local dive shop, Jack's Diving Locker, celebrated their 27th Anniversary with free scuba lessons. They have a pool at their shop where they do the initial scuba lesson. It was pretty basic...how to use all the gear and feeling comfortable breathing under water. This is exactly what we needed, since neither Jeremy and I have dove before.
There is a cute window looking into the deep end of the pool where you can watch the divers. We took turns taking Jillian to the window to see us dive.
It was fun AND surprisingly unnerving. I was constantly either holding my breath or breathing too fast. Using the tank to breathe was weirder than I expected. Our instructor said that its way easier in open water because you become focused on the fish and coral....and forget to be so paranoid about breathing.
This is definitely an activity we want to try before we leave Hawaii!
