New Dive Buddy

Diver Below

I officially want a new dive buddy! My current dive buddy proved that she is smarter then me, so I'm taking applications for lessor divers, to replace her! Last night, was of course the test portion of the Naui Advanced Diver class. I figured it was going to be an easy test. My dive buddy scored a 100% and I missed one question and had to settle for second place with a 98%. The worst part is losing to my competitive dive buddy, now I have to take another class with her, just so I can beat her (I'll use any excuse I can to take another class, they are fun). The second worst part, the question that I missed, I knew the answer! What's the most accurate way to measure distance underwater? Answer, using your arms. Even though I knew that, I still want to say fin kicks every time because when I think about measuring, I think long distances, not a quick estimate of a wreck for example. So, in essence, I "wrecked" my perfect score by answering it my way.

This weekend when we are diving and my dive buddy is giving me sh*t for beating me on the test, I'm going to accurately measure the distance from myself to her with a good solid punch! Bam! Yup, 35 inches away. What do you know, it is accurate ;)
