Black Rhombus

Well, it’s finally over.  Drew & I successfully passed our PADI certification this past weekend in beautiful downtown Lake Rawlings, VA .  It was hot, there were a ton of people there, & the water wasn’t as clear as I imagined it would be, but it was worth it.  Next time we go on vacation somewhere nice, Rebecca & I will finally be able to dive somewhere together.  Thanks to Drew, who went through the class w/me as my dive buddy, & put up with my ear problems all weekend.  Thanks to Drew, Janet, Mandy, Fab, Devon, Johnnie, Matty, Leena, Kurt & Rebecca for the dive class as my birthday present.  Yes, the class was two months ago, but we finally passed.

I was able to make use of our underwater camera housing (another previous group bday gift!); checkout the rest of the photos here .

Oh & be sure to wish Matty a happy bday today… the latest member of the old-man club
