So, you have read that my partner had been going back and forth about getting PADI certified. Then, she decided to get certified, but just for the heck of it… not really dive.
Yesterday, I was soooo proud of her, we dove! The instructor was busy so we got one of my fave DM’s to take us. (Shhhh) This was technically her second “official” dive. (we won’t go over the other two catastrophes) If I recall, prior to open water certification, the max depth is 40′. I’ll have to look it up.
She had a little trouble going down initially. We were doing a boat dive with a direct descent. It’s not the easiest – until you’ve done it a few times. But, she got down and down and down and down. 
Do you see where I’m going with this?
I let her lead, so as to not make her feel like she had to “keep up” with me – forward or downward progress. Well, she decided that she kinda liked 55′. (She’s my twin soul) So, I went with her. Everything she did was to perfection. The dive was 100% successful. It was amazing!
So, I may have a part-time dive buddy, in my full-time love.
(OH…. the DM got stung in the FACE by a jelly… grrr)
