Scuba Diving Begins Again!

I haven't been in Florida very much recently. When I went back out I figured I would advance my Scuba Certification. I have my Open Water Diver's cert, but there are so many levels above that.

On Saturday I went diving in a spring out in the middle of no where. It was an amusement park where they had shows that went on and lots of water attractions. I was refreshing on my diving skills since it had been over a year since I went. Everything was going well until I got into the water and we were supposed to sink...I couldn't. After fiddling with it for 10 minutes, my instructor came up and told me that I just need to add more weight. Alright, so I get that, get back in the water and I barely manage to get myself to sink.

We are having a great time diving go down to 25'. Searching on the bottom of part of the big pit we are diving in. After about 15 minutes, we come to top take a break and go down for our second dive. Thats when things got interesting...

I noticed that my regulator (the thing you breathe from) wasn't moving around as much as normal, felt kind of constricted. This was fine as I was only a few feet below and was going down and seeing if I could fix it on the way down. Then all of sudden, I kick my tank with the back of my heel. Now anyone ever look at a picture of a scuba diver? I'll give you a hint, the tank is on their back, definitely not low enough to be kicked. So I realized that my tank was slipping out and should go to the surface to get some help strapping it back on.

I wave to my dive buddy and the instructor that I am going back up, not 20 seconds later my dive instructor shows up and straps my tank back on.

The rest of the dive was so much fun. We went to 42' and it was great to practice again after so long.

Well thanks for reading you will be hearing again soon about more diving adventures and others.

98th Street Clothing

We are a new company with the goal of creating artistic clothing that is not only stylish, but comfortable. Our clothing is made from only high-quality fabrics which ensure that they feel good and look great. We have the idea that your clothes should make a statement and express your own unique style.

I came up with the idea to start a clothing company to bring something new and cutting-edge to the market. I wanted to make clothes that were different than other styles that were out there, but no so different that it would take 10 years for everyone to start liking them. At the same time I wanted to make clothing that everyone could wear and wasn't geared towards "one style" only.

I would like to introduce, 98th Street Clothing...
