Test dive

Here's my gear set up. 
I'm testing a new BCD or BC. (Buoyancy compensator device) That's the vest that holds the tank and hoses in place and allows you to float. 
Just surfaced from an out of air ascent drill. (My brother is handy as a photographer) As crazy as it sounds, it's tough to get to the bottom without your weights...
Preparing to get out after fighting for my weights at the bottom of the pool. :( I don't want to get out...45 minutes is a short dive. 
Well...this gear doesn't weigh anything in the water. But out of it...somewhere around 40 pounds of scuba gear. But diving into the water with it is tough the first time. But so worth it! 
Now for the cleanup. This is the long part of the dive...setup and takedown. 
Once the regulator, fins, and mask are rinsed...then the BC. 
Set it on the counter to drip off a bit while you take the tank to get refilled and rinse off the booties and hang up your regulator. 
Over all a fun test dive. :) Now I've just got to get a date set for the lake again...I'll freeze but it's still a lake dive!
Get diving guys!!
