Breathing underwater

I've started taking scuba diving lessons! The first class was last week and we learned the basics and actually breathed under water with all the gear, which I was not expecting to do on the first day. It's a totally different world and I can't wait to use my certification in the Great Barrier Reef :)  I just finished my second class tonight (which was 6 hours long yowzah!) where we had to pass a written test. Next up is another dive in the pool and then to the New River I go to dive in the open water! It makes me feel like Scuba Steve.
