February 4 - the 45th Day of Winter


(with apologies to family and friends in the frozen North)

Ho-hum - another discover scuba dive at Crashboat, this time with Christine and Courtney's friend Karianne and a couple from Peru (by way of New York). Alex skipped out on this group photo so it's just Karianne and Andrea.

I love going along with Darryl on discover dives. They are always a little bit different. Sometimes the new divers struggle (Karianne did a bit). Other times they take right to the water (Alex and Andrea seemed to be comfortable almost from the get-go).

By the end of this dive, all three newbies were comfortable enough to look at stuff on their own.

Both types, those who struggle but then get it and those who get it right away, are fun in different ways. Part of why I enjoy these dive so much is I get to share in that joy of discovery, the sense of accomplishment. It's to come out of the water and hear someone say, "that's the coolest thing I've ever done!"

As if I had something to do with it.

By the way - winter is half over.
