My warning is based on an actual event. Two guys were trialing a comms system in a pool and just assumed that they were the only ones who could hear each other. They spent a lot of the time in the water making comments about the other people in the water and those concerning the ladies were from a "lads viewpoint" and of a ........... coarser nature than one would expect in mixed company!

Yes, I heard a similar story on a Red Cross FAAW course, apparently two ambulencemen were talking about an unconcious patient's mother in the way that only blokes talk to blokes. the story is to demonstrate that hearing is the last sense to fail, you can work the rest out

That would be, in Americanese:

"Nice buns/ fanny (US for bottom) Ma'am and excellent hooters too if I may say so - have a nice day"

Lol Bryan! I would have to agree with you, I'd certainly have to watch what I say. Half the people in the pool with me don't even know about diving! I have to share the pool with others.... Later!

Don't worry I got the message! Wasn't hard to translate at all

That's why I talk in my mind, those types of things, and not out loud!

Yep you hear about that alot in surgery, that people can still hear what is going on while under anesthesia if the right gases and correct doses are not given! When the doctors are talking about the womans body ya know and she wakes up able to recite what was overheard.....

I know... some of the english terms are difficult to figure out, well impossible! But this one I got! Watch it, my English is coming out and I am understanding what you all say now!

Hi Vonny,
Thanks for the nice words. Glad you have enjoyed following my progess. I am enjoying watching my dream get closer all the time. Yes I sure do have the "dive bug" I'm so addicted! Take care.
Cheerio,
Matt

I did 17 minutes under the water today, it was a blast! I can’t wait for when I get up to 30 minutes or more, and I am also anxiously awaiting for when I can flip over onto my stomach in the pool under the water as well. That’s going to be a ton of fun. If all goes well I hope to do a dive at Wazee Lake next year at the DUI DOG Rally and Demo days. That would be awesome, I can handle the cooler water, won’t be a problem. That should be a great place to dive with lots of help. I’ll pass on ice diving though.

I added some pictures to here from my dive today….. http://matt55125.tripod.com/scuba/
I was hoping to add the videos but I am out of space on my web site! We got some pretty good ones, I didn’t have air in my mask this time, it was a little foggy unfortunately. I need to get my own rig. I’m hooked on diving.

Take care and hope to see you underwater soon!

Matt
