The very last thing I want to do tomorrow is get into my gear and dive. All day. Then take a test

So exciting that you have these skills now, test or no! Fuckin A!

Yes, if you are ever trapped underwater and I have my scuba gear on, I'm your gal. I can't wait to actually go out and dive and just do the fun part. I love the fun part.

To me it is awesome and inspiring that you went to Hawaii and got to snorkel for two days and practiced some scuba skills.

I've been considering doing the scuba retreat for years but concerns about whether I would be allowed to scuba dive, given my health conditions, have prevented me.

I'm pretty sure I should at least go back to Hawaii someday soon and snorkel.

[seyewailo]

Definitely. I have lots of health issues, but the guys at the dive shop were unconcerned. They asked questions, I was honest about the answers. Then they suited me up and let me go. Most of my conditions are controlled with medication and exercise. I even have asthma, and I just let my dive instructor know where the inhalers were.

I went with Ocean Legends in Oahu. They were the best. I loved Ryan, and he was great.

you are doing your personal best, which is far and away more than you could do a week or a month ago. everyone has a different learning curve.

and wow!

[seyewailo]

I know! Wow! 46 is looking good, eh?

Hawaii sounds gorgeous. Scuba diving, what a brave and demanding skill to start learning! The fact that you've begun and will end the day in a spa with a mai tai sounds like a win-win situation to me...
blessings,

We ended the day having a big family dinner with friends, family and our dive instructor/new pal. Lots of love. And of course, survival. That's always good.

um ... a mai tai in paradise hardly seems like a "worst" case scenario.
much love to you Pony. You are success personified.
