Padi Open water task list

[Appolion]

I'm currently going through the PADI open water diver course. Tonight we had our 3rd confined water dive and we did the following; 30 sec. breath from free flowing regulator, 1 min. underwater breathing with mask completely off, long stride deep water entrance, reaction to air-depletion by signaling out of air, tired diver tow (both in front and behind), establish neutral buoyancy by pivoting on the fin tips.
The instructor told us that the 30 sec. free flow regulator breathing was the hardest thing in the entire class. I would have to agree with him, its kinda scary at first. I'm starting to get the hang of buoyancy and streamlining myself more. Its really starting to be a lot of fun. I can't wait to get out and dive in the lake!
