SLS021812A Day One, Saturday

Crew SLS021812A is our first Live-Aboard crew for the 2012 season. They arrived right when they said they would...that's a good sign. They were fairly rested because they has spent the previous night in a hotel in Ft. Lauderdale. Most crews arrive dead tired because they have been traveling since the wee hours of the morning. The check-in went well...pictures, swim test, gear issue and pool skills session. This crew had done a skills review at home before coming here; a real plus for new divers. After the pool was 'flags' We had to go in our swim suits as the pool session ran a little late. Dinner was fried chicken, then it was off to the classroom for an orientation session. It's a bit dry but everyone managed to stay awake. All in all a good group of guys. It's a pleasure when you get that impression right away. Tomorrow it's off to the boat!
