My AOW pictures from this weekend.

Nice pictures! Sounds like you really enjoyed your AOW and that is how it should be. Don't worry about the freakin' out it can be a little much to handle at first. I agree with everyone else...you'll be back. Your pictures and comments are dripping with enthusiasm.

A little advice I received might be prudent here:

"Always remember you are going into an alien environment if you aren't the slightest bit apprehensive before you dive then you are either crazy or stupid. A lot of different shit can go wrong when you are diving. The trick is to build a routine that ensures and reinforces safety! Oh yeah, and make sure you have fun too!"

That is how it was told to me, in no uncertain terms.

Congrats,
