Just relax, breathe normally and have fun blowing bubbles...

Excess gas is never a bad thing.

But letting it out in the wrong place can cause problems. (To be honest, though, I didn't learn that in OW, but in cave class

)

Sometimes in a bad situation, the best source of help is from up above.

Bob, I dropped my weight belt. How long should I wait for it to come up?

Every once and a while, look back at the swath of destruction you might be leaving behind you.

Along those same lines, my husband came up with this one (hopefully not aimed at me!!)

"Don't stir things up - you'll ruin it for not only yourself, but everyone else"

Is this one dive related or general life?

Selkie, not sure if you read my original post - all these quotes are to have double meanings - that's the game! :geek:

So to answer your question...BOTH!

I read it but it was yesterday and I am forgetful and I for sure have little memory of what I learned in OW class way back in 1982. I get confused on what I learned then and what was more recent including yesterday. Good thing it is Friday so I can forget this week and work on next week.

Don't just be a follower; you must be able to find your own way, regardless of who is in "charge."

Please try to stay on task...IT and GI3 don't have anything at all to do with her thread....

it may not be about ow course, but it is relevant to lessons learned underwater applying to real life. substantially more on topic than most hijacks.

another one from cave class is to keep swimming for the exit...

When something big is threatening you, lay low and slowly back away...avoiding eye contact...

Don't poke at things. Most things bite when you poke at them. Also, the prettiest things normally sting or bite the worst.
