After days of practicing mask clearing, pressure equalizing and all other skills that I have already forgotten, we headed to Monterey for our certification run. The weather above water was clear and warm, just plain beautiful. But below water, it was murky and ice cold. Not the best place to enjoy scuba diving.
We survived our four certification dives with flying colors as it got colder and colder each dive. It could have been a lot worse if we didn't spend a gazillion $$ buying wet suits and booties. But all in all, we survived and Thailand, here we come.
