Stop, breathe, decide
Well I splurged today and ordered one of the these and one of these. I'm hoping it will help a bit with the dive hair. When I braid my hair for diving it compresses at depth and then comes out on the way up. Leaky mask due to hair and hair caught on stuff isn't a lot of fun and sea water is not the kindest to it so maybe this will help. I'm hopeful that it will arrive before my AOW class with Jason.
I'm also getting a little nervous for the class and all that goes with it. Well I guess it's actually more about the all the goes with it (I think). I've always been pretty decent at school so learning stuff shouldn't be too hard. But I've never been on a boat dive or a dive in the ocean, or with the equipment I will be renting or buying, or with a dive buddy other than Dave, or a whole bunch of other things. Plus trying to pick out the best choice in gear is really becoming a stressor for me. I don't know why I can't just accept that among the choices I have there isn't a wrong answer. Any of those choice would serve me just fine.

I have a blog (again?)
Cool hair doodads. Personally I'm in favor of just chopping off all my hair but that might not look quite as good on you ;)
Worry not, the scuba thing will be cool. If you're feeling stressed about the whole boat dive thing we could go out on Friday for a dive with Dave. You and he could buddy and I could find one on the boat. That way you'd have a chance to try boat diving with someone you've buddied with before.
By the way, congrats on the new wetsuit. What did you end up with?
I ended up with what I thought was going to be the worst fit (go figure). I got a SeaQuest 3/2, apparently SeaQuest redid their material and whatnot and eureka it fit. Maybe not perfectly, but decently. If I end up diving a lot I will probably want to get a custom suit anyway. It probably also helps that it isn't a 7mm. I really wanted to try some Henderson suits on, but couldn't find a place that carries them. Their insta-dry looks pretty cool. I think I'm going to get a hooded vest as well since I do tend to chill and we are doing a deep dive and a night dive.

Very cool. I also looked at the insta-dry suits. They look awesome but they don't have a size listed that comes even close to my measurements. I need to get much shorter or much heavier to fit in their suits. Since they're also _really_ expensive I decided to not worry about it. Someday I may try one on though... they do look cool.
Finally I have a blogger, blog . it is Neenaville.
Where did you get/make the neat icon? Share, please!
