First of all, a few words...........WOW, AWESOME, AMAZING!
OK, now that that's out of the way, I'm grinning from ear to ear. We arrived at the Blue Heron Bridge this morning for a shore dive. There were a few divers there, maybe 20. (That's a "few" on a beautiful day like today) My husband was trying out his GoPro Hero Helmet cam, and documented my DH indoctrination.
We submerged and the first thing I noticed was how easy and dry it breathed. I noticed in the head down position, I had to breath slightly deeper, but was completely comfortable, and I was use to it in a matter of minutes. I noticed that I was biting on the mouthpiece way too hard and didn't have too. I also was able to flood and clear it, look to starboard, lots of air, look to port, not so much, etc. These are all things that I expected, thanks to all you guys, and weren't even a second thought. I did want to try all these skills before we set off to look at stuff. I spent the rest of the dive concentrating on critters, (seahorses, sharptail eels, etc.) It performed as beautifully as it looks. My huband, who said "Never", is completely rethinking his rig around a DH. He was Pea Green with Envy.
I've ordered an oval mask and a brass & glass vintage Pressure gauge for delivery next week. After a few more items, my turn to the dark side will be complete.
I know I will never go back to a single hose. Period. Thanks guys!
Now, where's my credit card........
