We all started here.

What fond/wierd/scary/funny memories do you have of your OW/Basic class and checkout dives?

Falling right onto my face in the sand coming out of the sea - did that each and every time over the three days....at least it made everyone else laugh

Seeing the look in my buddies face when he descended with his snorkel in his mouth.
Being buzzed by diving ducks at 9m. "what are those superfast silvery things going past ? They don't look like fish!", then spotting the two little webbed feet hammering away behind them.
Finding myself at the surface, (again!), after another episode of crap bouyancy and shouting in sheer frustration, "What the %*@^ am I doing up here?" and then realising that some 50-60 students and their instructors have turned to stare at me!

Getting sea sick for the very first time in my life

Bama, there are those that have and those that will, but non that won't!

Watching the instructor and the rest of the class getting picked up and tossed by the sets after he told us to enter right as the sets were on the horizon while I was in ankle deep water waiting them out. But the best part was kicking out past the instructor while he was disoriented trying to fix his mask.
