Ok, I have a question that I welcome any and all answers to but PARTICULARLY those who recently when through basic OW cert and instructors who teach them.
The question is: What are the top problems (challenges, fears, blocks) that seem to affect MOST new dive students?
Ie- Breathing smoothly, taking the mask off without panicking, remembering to keep breathing, breathing slow and deep, that sort of thing.
The reason I ask is this: I am a hypnotherapist, and am going to be releasing a new self hypnosis tape designed to help people get OVER those kinds of scuba related issues that are largely mind over matter- I know what MY issues were during recent open water certification, and I know what some of my class mates were, but I like to get a broad specturm so I make sure I cover as many bases as possible.
I ended up working with a few people I knew who were also going through dive classes and having some issues, and that sparked me to decide to work on a regular self help tape as well.
Thanks in advance to any isnight you offer into your personal challenges... and if you care to share, How YOU overcame them.
