The girl was newly certified, her first dive out. I told her not to let that
experience stop her from diving, she was thoroughly shaken by it. I told her
to call me and we would go to that frigid lake to practice together. I told
her its cold but controlled there and she would learn a whole lot.
I hope I said the right things, I just didn't want to sound like a know it
all. Not much else except it's a lake dive tomorrow:).

One of the toughest lessons for new divers to learn is when not to dive.
You spend a lot of money getting to a dive site and get your plans made only
to have Mother Nature turn against you. We are at the mercy of the weather
in this sport. You and Tim have learned the lesson and that is a good
thing. Better to not dive today and be able to dive tomorrow.
