Well complete dives 3 and 4 today with some problems. 1) it was cold!! Water temp was 37 degrees F! My regulator went free flow on dive 3 at 20ft. Had to go with instructors 2nd reg. First time she’d seen that happen in 300+ dives. Figures with my luck!

Then on dive 4 after the mask remove/replace, my mask kept leaking. The dive master candidate that was helping us tried to fix it at depth but to no avail. So, we kept trying until the instructor got back from doing the underwater navigation skill with the other student. I kept clearing but eventually my nose got complete logged, so I choked up some water on the surface.

But hopefully, the adverse conditions will make diving in Belize alot easier.

But at least I am now a PADI Open Water Diver!
