I know every diver has had a scare....it keeps you alive...
I'll briefly tell you mine and how I am just still getting over it...and your stories are welcome...
Immediately before I moved to Curacao, I had a last dive in the lake in Luxembourg. It's basically cold diving...depth 35-40m pitch black and 2 celcius,
My mask got kicked off and I was breathing rapidly waiting for my buddy to come for me...I stuck my back up leaky mask on....coughing and spluttering at 32m,
My buddy was immediately there but it seemed eternal...he kicked the mask off in the first place...I callled the dive..we surfaced, he was great.
I arrived in Curacao a week later. I did a 50m dive to try and get back on the horse but I sufferred for about 5 months...I got the panics when I saw my guage at 25m.
I hated myself being around divers going to 35 m and I said no....when a few weeks earlier they would have crapped their pants on my dives under the ice to 45m.
I think every diver has a crisis of confidence at some point or other.....tell me yours.
