Scuba diving

With the rivers and lakes finally frozen over I thought it was appropriate to post some pictures of the scuba diving I did this spring. I took the certification course through Confederation College with a friend of mine who was teaching the course (the college course…the scuba course was part of the college course). Well, we flew through the in-class component and pool part but had to wait a couple of months for the ice to leave the lakes so we could finish off the open water components. We did 4 dives in 2 days in Lake Superior and a small, deep, clear lake call Oliver Lake. Oliver Lake is a local teenage party hotspot and we were careful to avoid touching the bottom as it was littered with broken beer bottles and fishing lures. Real classy. But as a result it meant that there were really interesting things to look at. The instructor had an underwater camera and took some pictures of us while we were down. It was another one of his sales pitches (don’t even get me started) but it resulted in some cool pictures. I’ve posted them on Facebook finally and included the link here.
After spending two beautifully sunny days outside and underwater, I stayed up until 2 in the morning then got up again at 4 am to finish my thesis presentation and defend it. I might have a prioritisation issue.
