    Panic attack first time on open water dive...

    Very comfortable Underwater - Very Uncomfortable at Surface

    yea when I first started diving I was splashing all over the place on the surface, face forward, suckin up sea water. I hated it, but once i got comfortable with my own gear I learned to kinda go zen and just chill on the surface and my body basically balances itself out.
