Dive workshop with NWGratefuldiver
Posted: Tue Oct 14, 2014 7:25 am
Danee and I went up north this past weekend to do a workshop with Bob. We had such a great time hanging out with Bob for the weekend. During the workshop we worked on our buoyancy, trim and propulsion techniques. I was amazed at how I felt in the water after getting my weights arranged so that I was in true trim versus what I thought was trim. On Sunday I was working on arranging my weights to get the ankle weight off the neck of my tank but I did not quite get the balance right. Not being in trim again really helped cement the feeling in my mind. We found that we need to add a tank band to Danee's rig to get her in trim. We both learned the basics on frog kicking which was fun. I don't know what Danee looked like but I bet I looked pretty awkward. On Sunday Danee couldn't equalize so at her insistance we took her back to the stairs (Redondo) and an instructor there helped her get to the car. She insisted that Bob and go back out and complete our dive. Man!!! Was that a crack up. Bob signaled for me to try a helicopter turn. I looked like one of those whirly bird seed things that fall out of the trees. I was watching my Luna as I turned and to my surprise I started to sink. It took a few times trying but I eventually got a fairly decent helicopter turn out of it.
So...if anyone is looking for someone to do a dive workshop with or needs some assistance with anything dive related give Bob a call or drop him a PM here. I am sure that whatever you need help with he can help you get it straightened out. I know I have improved so far and will continue improve thanks to Bob teaching me some things I needed to learn.
Thanks Bob!!! Danee and I are looking forward to coming back up to wrap up the workshop
