SCU-bah

So after enrolling to get certified to SCUBA dive I find out that there are medical questions which, if answered affirmatively to any, need a doctors approval.  It seems like I am okay as the big one for me are asthma, which has been 5-10 years.

So I thought I was good to go. Then, although I was told you dont need to be a great swimmer, I found out that there are two swim tests.
1) to swim 200 meters (or to swim 300 meters with snorkel, fins and mask)
2) to float for 10 minutes

I was unable to complete test 1 however I can do a "discover scuba" class which let's you scuba dive once without swim tests or certification so that is what I will do.

Then I need to figure out where I am going next and when.

September is the most humid month here and the day I arrived was the worst with no breeze. The weather either has gotten a little better or I am just getting used to it.
