Really.

She's getting her OW certification done.   Yesterday was her second set
of checkout dives.   She's been excellent in the water to date, and has
been enjoying it.  She has a 16 year old girl's irrational fear of
seaweed, but otherwise she's gonna be a good diver once I get her
trained up right.

So she's on her first dive of the day, and she has a block, but instead
of coming back up in the water column, she decides "I can clear this"
and keeps on descending.  Naturally, she gets the pain.  Her instructor
brought her back to the beach, and I fed her some Sudafed and some warm
tea in hopes of clearing her tubes.

So she's sitting on the bench, and she's getting cold.  I can see her
lips are getting a little blue, and she's tired already.   Time comes
and she's gearing up.  I'm watching her close, as is her instructor as
she looks like she's losing focus.  Her ear still wasn't popping.   She
stops.  Things aren't just so.  I can tell just by looking at her, but
I want to see what she's gonna do.

"Not today" she says, and steps out of her gear.   Girl called her
first dive.  Awesome.

She's going back in tomorrow to finish up the cert course.   Then I'll
teach her to dive.

I've already got her a set of titanium Spare Air doubles, just like
mine.
