Second Class

   Another great class. It was a little more challenging than the first. We learned how to equalize as we descend and how to take our mask off and on under water. Then we started buoyancy control. That was pretty cool. We would only put enough air in our BCD to get us off the floor a little as we breathed out and then in. I had a hard time staying down as we swam though. Every time I kicked it seem to push me further to the top. But I am determined to get it down.
   We went over some more gear and their functions. Also I used my own regulator this class. Had it completely rebuilt for around $170.00 And that is with an alternate second stage too. Its nice to use your own gear so that you can work the kinks out of everything before the fun starts.
   Cant wait to learn a little more. Every day it seems I get more comfortable with it.
Hand signals was next. That was great. Were all learning them and also a few more that the instructor has showed us for like fish identification.
