Practise Makes Perfect
The weekend has passed and it’s time to review everything we’ve learned and trained last week.
There’s wood cutting, lift-bag floating, mooring-inspections and flanges all over the place.
After the flange, we get to do the lift-bag again and I open the release valve too far. Damn! The weight pulls the bag down and it drops to the bottom, fast and hard. We descend to continue the exercise but Cesar stops us. “Start Over!”. My fault, I’ll go again. I give it another try, slow and easy this time. Phew, it worked.

It’s a nice and sunny day out and the spirits are high, at least until the theory part of the day comes around.
Physics, Math, Physiology and some more Physics
Calculations of air consumption, the partial pressure of oxygen and nitrogen or determining the pressure of scuba tanks after filling fill our afternoon.
“You will need to be able to calculate these things for the exam,” Tato warns us “they will give you problems to solve.”
Concerning the physics I might be at a slight advantage here. There’s only one problem, will I understand the question?
