Last night I completed a "scuba update" or refresher course, since I hadn't been diving in years or keeping up with new standards. I am glad I did, there were many new changes in procedure and practice I had no clue. I do have a trip coming up where scuba is an option and I really didn't want to look like a noob if I chose to get wet.

The in-pool session went by quickly, after I got my frog-legs back I feel confident I can handle myself like I used to in the old days when we breathed off the tank valve because regulators were for wimps! I'm breathing a lot of air which is to be expected until my fluidity returns; I was not a part of the water and off-balance. That feeling of flow should return with experience and reconditioning.

This course is well worth the time and money, ask your nearest dive shop you rusty frogmen and ladies!
