Rescue!

FYI Rescue dive class is tons of fun. We did some great classroom discussion until the dive well opened up, then headed down to gear up. We have something of an uneven class, so I got buddied in a three-person team including two more experienced and a bit older, male divers (meaning dirty jokes prevailed as we were helping each other take off gear at the end of the dive). 

Seriously, I cannot stress this enough: if you attend or live near Rutgers University and wish to learn to dive, check them out.

They have all the gear, so you do not need to purchase anything unless you personally have a special equipment need (like I needed a prescription mask so I could better see at distance). The staff is amazing. And, can I mention again a 16.5 foot dive well? It's a great space to train in. Oh, and a variable depth pool that goes from 4 to 6 feet (depending on what they have the bottom set to) for newbies on the first few nights to get their feet wet. Oh, oh, oh, and sauna. There's a sauna in each locker room, which is just as delightful after a dive as Wandering Oaken's family made it seem.
