It's like cool... and stuff...

S.C.U.B.A.

I learned from Jo on The Facts of Life that this means "self-contained underwater breathing apparatus." Last night I learned that breathing underwater is freakin cool. And a little scary.

I mean, we spent a good three hours learning the basics on diving, the equipment, and even how to put it together. But taking that first breath when you're completely submerged underwater... it's kinda freaky. I wasn't all bug-eyed as in "OMG I'm breathing underwater.... WTF!?!?!" But I definitely had a tiny fear that after I finished my exhale, I wouldn't have any air to breathe in. Not that it really mattered when I was sitting at the bottom of a 4' deep pool.
