So Mary and I just completed our first scuba diving class. We took the class through Scuba Ted's, a local shop in Springville. The class was great. It was four Friday nights worth of class room instruction and pool time at the local pool. Scuba Ted's had all the gear for us to borrow during the class, including the BCDs, tanks, regulators, fins, and masks. We really liked the staff there, too.
We did our open water certification at the Crater, a geothermal pool up in the mountains above Provo. The Crater is about 60 ft deep and maintains a temperature of about 90 degrees. When we went, the water was 92 degrees. We went down 20 feet or so and did some exercises like flooding and clearing our masks or establishing perfect buoyancy. We did four dives on two different trips to the Crater. The owner Ted and our instructor Greg were both really nice and made the class a lot of fun.
Here are some of the pictures that we took at the pool and up at the Crater.
