Hi Gang,
   Well to go along with our last certification dive, I am trying not to toot my own horn. I am just so proud, that I impressed our instructor Link which is by the way the one that got my going. He said my buoyancy is really getting there, when we did our deco stop I hovered really well. Tim and I are both really working on our dive and yes we will have a life time to get the experience to be nice safe divers:-). Our dive today was in the cold lake, as soon as Tim got in there was an eel in the shallows which is very odd. We went in about 5:00 pm and the eels that we have encountered in this lake seemed to be round in body and light colored. This one seemed to look more like a conger eel. It was a nice dive, in the ocean yesterday it was 13c and the lake was 13c today, the guys were all wearing semi-drys and I was in my little ole 2 piece 5mil suit. The guys were saying that they were cold, I will tell you after diving in the lake at 11c, 13c seemed warm;-). 
Cheers
Sherry and Tim
