I'd love to do that Bomber. How long have you been at it and how often do you have to recertify, if at all?

 

[bomber]

got my open water 2 years ago,once you have it you don't have to recertify,BUTa "refresher" course would be a good idea if you don't get in the water much.when you first get into fresh or salt water you realize your just a "guest" in the water and you have to respect it.when you see somebody holding their breath on tv and yer thinking i could hold my breath twice as long as that............nope,its a whole different world

 

[Lowbatts]

Well actually Bomber I used to snorkel a ton, hunting the gravel pits around here as a kid. You can hold your breath a LONG time when there's drunk bikers taking pot shots at you in the water.

Sure I couldn't do that well now and I'm also waiting to hear from the doc if my valves are too leaky for anything new and exciting.
