Hi all! Just signed up to this site as it seems like an excellent network for divers and I'm enjoying looking through some of the posts.
My name is Laura and I have started an OW course. I just had my 2nd session in the pool last night and I'm worrying because I feel so clumsy with everything! I love swimming underwater but I'm finding some of the skills a bit difficult - even simple things like clearing a regulator! After swallowing half the pool last night my instructor said the equipment wasn't very good although I suspect I may not have been blowing hard enough. I'm worried about having to do this 18m underwater! And it feels like we're being rushed through everything because there's so much to learn. Today my chest feels really uncomfortable which is nothing severe but I guess I just overexerted myself last night.
So I'm just having a bit of a flap really and maybe looking for some reassurance that everybody starts off like this! I'm so looking forward to getting in the sea but I want to make sure I'm ready for it.
Thank you so much for reading. Looking forward to learning even more about diving through this site.
