Marianna and her friend have been having loads of fun taking her friend's little brother out for dinghy rides. I never know when there will be a bump on the hull and voices from the water calling for Marianna!

At the first call, up the companionway she'll dash and drop down over the side into the dink and off they'll race. Well, race is a relative term, the motor is a 2.5 Hp so putt might be a better word!

Didn't get this posted yesterday, life got in the way! Marianna spent alot of time swimming and boating with friends instead. Lots of fun.
These Dive Tables? Not such fun.


Day Ten
The 10 Objectives for today:


1. Tell how long it takes for the body to become saturated with nitrogen.
2. State how saturated nitrogen is released from the body.
3. Explain why divers complete dive profiles after a dive.
4. Define "surface interval"
5. Explain the difference between actual and total bottom times.
6. Explain what is meant by a repetitive dive.
7. State the surface interval between dives that would cause two dive to be treated as a long single dive.
8. State the length of time that must elapse before you can assume there is no more residual nitrogen, according to the U.S. Navy Tables.
9. Name the type of diving not appropriate for sport diving but about which you should be familiar for safety's sake.

(Hint - the answer is decompression diving and yes, I think we're familiar with the concept! LOL!)
