    Default New pool dive update!

    Hi Everyone,

    I just wanted to let you know I did 45 minutes under the water
    yesterday! It was great! We went to the deep end again and I was
    under at about 5 ft deep. I turned onto my belly for about 10
    minutes, that, was really awesome!

    On the inside of my dry suit I have a connector that hooks my vent
    tubing to my dry suit, we found a hairline crack in it, and the air
    escaping kept making my dry suit blow up! I think I need to find one
    that is made of metal or some other sturdy material. We are going
    to check into it later.

    Next time I am hitting an hour. Thats the longest I am going to
    go. After that I am going to start spending more time on my belly, getting the bouyancy down pat. Eventually I want to work up to 6 ft under the water seeing how that goes.

    Here's a link to some new pictures I added of my pool dive
    yesterday... http://matt55125.tripod.com/scuba

    Take care everyone.
    Matt

    This is absolutely fantastic news Matt. I wish you much luck in solving the leak issue-this makes you a real diver btw, as we all have to deal with leaks somewhere from time to time 8) Keep the dream alive buddy, you are such an inspiration to so many.

    DeWayne thanks, I well never give in to any thing as long as I am able. Yes we do share so many things in common. The leak problem is no longer an issue. My dry suit is ready for my hour dive. Diving keeps me going. If I didn't have all my great dive friends and diving I would not be as far as I have come.

    Take care bud Matt.

    Thanks John, no I will not be diving in the aquarium because of their rules. If you don't have a C card they wouldn't let you dive. I have three dive instructors that will be with me and they still will not let me dive. Even though I know everything about diving and I did take my SDI course and passed it.

    O well I well be diving the real thing soon enough.

    Take care, Matt.

    Hi Bobbert,

    Yes I do really enjoy what I am doing. I love diving and anything to do it.

    Thanks for the nice words Matt.
