first time to 150

[jmohns]

Hello gang, I am going to try to let you know calmly and very quietly that i finally made it to 150ft. WHY THE HELL DID I WAIT SOO LONG!!! Sorry........ ok enough of the funny stuff. I was able to do my first deco and my first 150 ft dive, and it was awesome!! It was soo quiet, soo surreal, soo neat to finally see the stuff I have been seeing in the photos for many years of diving now. weather was ok, temp was as to be expected, vis was awesome! I have spent the better part of a year and a half collecting the necessary gear to do this type of diving, I have had a really great mentor at my LDS who would correct me if I set something up that was incorrect, or simply unsafe. I have spent most of this season doing check dives with the doubles and the ponys to be sure I have the boyency down perfect, I have learning and studying my a** off to understand the effects and drains this will have on the body. And the first dive was great!!!! Proper planning and flooing the plan resulted in me being here to tell you the story now. ok I will stop babbling over this, thanks to those of you out here who have helped me get to this point on the board here with good advise, and at times good arguments.
James
