Scuba test today! Wish me luck!
 

I got my motorcycle license at 40 so at 50 I decided to try something else equally as challenging! As some of you know, I have been taking an open water certification course for the past two weeks, and today is the final exam! I am not too too worried as I have been studying in between YT breaks (lol) and I have been aceing all the quizzes, so I think I will be alright. It's the actual water skills that make me nervous, as I am NOT a swimmer!! LOL! Isn't it funny to be a non-swimmer and want to scuba? OK, I could probably save myself in a pinch, but I had to do the try out prequalification with fins, mask, and snorkle as there was no way I could do a 10 lap free swim, lol, and survive. :eek:

I am going to Ginny Springs in Fl at the end of Feb to get my final certification on the water skills part. Our instructor has promised that he will come back to the YMCA the week before we leave for the trip and help us practise for the underwater exam. You have to remove your mask underwater, put it back on and clear it, you have to do some neutal buoyancy testing, and other cool but strange things. I am scared to fail, lol! :(

Part of the Ginny Springs trip is snorkeling with manatees! :p I am pretty excited about that! Should be a blast!

ANYWAY!!! Please wish me luck today with the 50 question test! I have to get off YT here pretty darn soon and go study!! :p

Never deprive yourself of something you really want to do!! Hey, if I can do OK at it, you sure can too!!

You need to start a thread or update your old one so it bumps up to new posts so that we can see how 'Lilah is doing!! I have been wondering!

HUGS! And thanks for the good wishes, my friend! :p

Your good luck WORKED!!
 

I got a 98 on my 50 question test!!! YIPPEE!! I am so psyched! Now I just have to pass the underwater skills testing next month when we go to Ginny Springs! :eek:

The only question I missed was one of the simplest ones on the test!!! I firmly feel I accidentally filled in the wrong selection box, lol!! DORK!! :p

Thanks for your good wishes, my friends! I just know I will soon be a certified open water scuba diver!! :thumbup:

:happyboun :teethysmi :happyboun

WOOHOO! Awesome job. What was the question you missed? :p

It was about the dive tables
 

And it asked an elemental question on the first steps of reading the dive table. DUH!! I got THAT one wrong and I got a dive table three consecutive dive question RIGHT??? Oh yeah, very dumb fill-in-the-box error!! Oh well!! I try so hard to be perfect, and I screw up, lol! :D

Congratulations!!! And you were worried?!? We knew you could do it!! ;)

Thanks, Bettyanne!
 

You're a friend for LIFE! :p I appreciate your support, hon!

Congrats to you........grat job!! :thumbup: :thumbup:

No doubt in my mind ... you will pass with flying colors!!! :) Good luck, Glad .... wish I were going with you!! Can't wait to hear about your adventure .... do be careful! ;)
