Re: Started Optima Training

I hear ya man! Four of us are down here in Playa del Carmen and just finished our last dive with Mikedive (one this site). We had a heck of a time but I feel so much better after the 500 or so minutes bottom time. I have a loooooooooooooooong way to go but when I was bouncing around the bottom of the pool I was thinking - what did I get myself into? Luckily Mike was patient and we are looking forward to logging more dives.

BTW - this is my frst post in this group - HELLO EVERYONE!

I am pretty exhausted. Putting my unit together until all hours of the night. Then, taking it apart. Hypoxia drills, hyperoxia drills. So many valves (and trying to remember where they are and how to reach them). Look at the computer. Change the setpoints. Select the gas. Does it ever end?

I brought my Optima home to do some land drills for scenarios. Tomorrow will be two pool sessions.

So far, it is a very humbling experience. It really is as if starting all over again.
