Greetings from Catalina Island. It's just after dinnertime and I've got about 20 minutes of free time, the first I've had all day. Since arriving on the island 3 days ago (is that ALL?), I have been about as busy as I've ever been in my life. We (the Instructor Training Candidates and I) have been tested on very challenging in-water skills such as jumping off a dock into 20 feet of water holding scuba tank, weight belt, fins, and mask in hand and putting it all on at the bottom in under 4 minutes. We also had to swim 450 yards in under 20 minutes, and 900 yards using fins. In addition, we've been working on presentations of various scuba-related topics with little (read: "damn-near no") time to prepare. Since breakfast yesterday morning, I've done 7 presentations, four of which I passed. We get to work around 7am, and finish around midnight.
Whoops! Out of time. More later...
