Last night of class

Well this was the last night of the class until we meet at the lake.
This was also test night. I studied the dive tables a lot and it was a good thing since there was several questions pertaining to the tables. The test wasn't too bad. I did miss 3 because I was thinking too much intro the questions. They were simple, but I had to make them complicated. It took an hour to take a 50 multiple choice questionnaire. Everyone passed in the class. Then we went to the pool to finish off the pool training. Again what a great night. We learned how to remove and replace our weight belt at the surface and at the bottom of the pool. Which was great because that night I bought my own weight belt so that I can get used to my own. The weight belt cost 25.00 and all the weights that I needed cost 50.00. so for 75.00 I got a new belt that was comfortable. There was cheaper ones but it would of only saved me 16.00.
Then we practiced removing and replacing our BCD with tank at the surface and at the bottom of the pool. Now as easy as that sounds, and it is....kinda. When trying to do this at the surface there is some tricks to it. Dont over inflate your BC or you will fight it the whole time. Keep it Buoyant but only semi. And you think well it will be easy to do on the bottom. Here is the trick. Although you think well I can stand up and just take it off. Well make sure you are not the first one doing it so that you can share a giggle with the instructor when everyone loses their balance. Now for the trick. Kneel on the floor and take it off. but be prepared to lay on the floor forward, because you will automatically start to fall forward and then just put your bcd back on as you are slightly falling forward. Its simple once you do it.
Next, the instructor turned off our air underwater so that we can feel what it feels like to run out of air. We watch the pressure gauge as she did it and then we practiced an emergency accent to the surface and manually inflated the bc when we surfaced. Very interesting night. I was amazed on how much we actually learned in only 4 nights in the pool. We all wished there was more. But now we are waiting for the lake to warm up to finish the certification. It will be 2 days with 4 dives total including navigation and a dive to 60 feet. It should be great!
