We took a two-week course that consisted of classwork and trips to the ancient Springville Community swimming pool. You'd never believe what type of disgusting things are located in a 60-year old pool- hairballs, bandaids, rusted earrings, and, well, I'll leave the rest to the imagination :).
We learned how to check our buoyancy, take off our mask underwater, share air through a buddy system, and pop our ears. My certification was in jeapordy because my ears wouldn't pop easily- I have mini ear canals! Alas, I finally got the hang of it.
It was a welcomed transition to head up to Midvale to 'The Crater,' a 98 degree, 65 ft deep, hot pot.... Our first open water dive!
