Pam, you crack me up!

I do have a love for water. I have a funny story to tell you about weights. The first time a friend tried to teach me how to SCUBA before I took the classes, he thought that I could share his air. That was his first mistake. I had weights on and we walked out at La Jolla Shores. I was like a fish out of water, I was trying desperately to keep my face above water, once I had possession of the air, I was not going to give it back! He pulled it from my hands. I panicked, I tried to surface, I had to drop the weight belt into Davey Jones' Locker (actually it was only in about 10 feet of water LOL). It was the worse experience I've had in the ocean. It's surprising that I went on and got certified years later.

I love snorkling too, but without weights! It's much less cumbersome and safe.
