Week 7, Day 35

Today in Scuba we had two dives during which we had to know our life signals. During the first dive we had to find a clap that was thrown into the water and we were guided to the location. During the second dive (which was an assessment dive) we had to find a washer half the size of a credit card. This might seem easy but I had to search through a 'Forrest' of kelp and the sea bed was littered with small rocks and pieces of steel pipe. As I looked beneath the kelp the seabed would stir up and limit my visibility. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack and it took me 40 minutes to find. It is crazy to think, but after so much time looking for a silly washer you get a buzz when you find it. Finally I passed my Surface Supply exam that I took yesterday.
