Second day in the pool. Progressively more difficult feats underwater. The afternoon was spent with dive tables, residual nitrogen, surface intervals, and the written exam. We picked up a rental underwater camera from "Digital Diver". It was a 10 megapixel Canon in an underwater housing. We were given great tips on how to get good pictures. We then attended "Reef Teach", a 2 hour review by marine biologists (one of which who taught at CIMI on Catalina Island) on the reef, the many species of fish and corals, and of course the ones with potent venom. Madison decided she wasn't going to touch anything! The basic rules is, "if it is brightly colored and pretty, it is poisonous."
Afterwards, we had dinner with Celene and Cedrik (Celine is a PhD in soil science, and her husband is working on his).
