instructors
here's our instructor, greg. he's pictured here doing what he does best: talking and talking and talking, without actually conveying much information at all. he literally spent about 5 minutes telling us that he has only ever seen one tiny shark at monterey.

buddies
buddies Anna and Leslie practiced skills together as Bryan ventured off into the kelp with another real diver. (or, rather, he would have done some venturing if his rental reg hadn't broken).
leslie and william
leslie and william that water was COLD! 53 degreesish. We knew we were in trouble when we saw that all the instructors were donning drysuits instead of wetsuits (dry suits being the thing you where when diving in the arctic and such).
