Wow. It’s been a stressful month of school for both Jen and me. Fortunately it is now spring break. Jen is de-stressing by returning to St. Louis for a week.
I am de-stressing by becoming a SCUBA superhero. I am taking an Advanced Scuba Diver course in Puerto Galera, Philippines. To complete this I need to complete 5 tasks before the local High Master of Scuba.
1. Dive to the deepest depths of the ocean and retrieve a translucent and blind sea creature of my choice.
2. Breathe various gases while diving such as nitrox, pure oxygen, liquid oxygen, and helium. (On the helium dive I am required to sing funny songs into a sound recorder).
3. Infiltrate a hostile scuba facility at night while dressed all in black. I must plant an exploding device and sink one of their ships, which then helps me with task #4.
4. Penetrate the “wrecked” ship that I caused the previous evening.
5. Explain in detail my wreck dive to the High Master of Scuba. I must use the verb “penetrate” at least 5 times without laughing.
Wish me luck.
