John is also about to graduate from SCUBA certification school. big claps for John .... Took his first actual dive Saturday in the Gulf up at Venice Beach. You'll have to ask him how it went.

Scuba check out went pretty good. We went to Venice Beach, water was about 80 and 2 foot waves with a current out of the north. The winds were out of the east and visibility was less then 5 feet, very poor. But we did out activities and part way thru from not being use to swimming in the choppy water I was starting to feel sick. I never get sea sick, it was the over excursion of swimming like if you workout to hard you feel sick to your stomach feeling. About 15 feet down it hit me. I started to vomit thru my reg, my instructor reached for me and gave me the ascent sign and I did so on my own power. He thought I had blown a lung because the vomit was orangie red and chunky from the oatmeal and orange gatorade I had earlier. But after it was all said and done, he came up to me and said I was the first person he seen vomit thru a reg and he was proud to the fact I did not panic.

It was a great day. What a learning experience. Maybe I can find a $500 million shipwreck someday.

Happy Hunting everyone.
