I was out on my lake check dive which was the first time out diving in the lake since 2008. I did my refresher course through Precious Cargo LLC. Michael did a great job in helping me go over the materials and giving me all kind of pointers to make me a better diver. He has so much knowledge when it comes to diving, I know we talked for hours.


My problem on this dive was since I had a 7MM wetsuit I was very buoyant and kept having a tendency to float back up. I expended a lot of air having to swim downward periodically to get back in the group on the bottom.
