My mission was to get in shape for a week long scuba trip which entails all shore diving. That meant hauling gear up and down the rock-strewn "beaches", handing down heavy tanks, etc. to my dive partner until we got all the gear assembled and ready.
The up-side was I used much less air underwater and was able to do longer dives. And I was much better at my bouyancy control this trip!
