Enhancing diving skills

[Julie Moerke]

Hi, My name is Julie and I am new to this online stuff. I have been diving since 2009 but love water and have snorkelled since I was 10 years old. I have recently got certified in Nitrox and dry suit. I want to explore photography and ship wrecks and get my advanced training. I am recently divorced and time and diving is about me right now. I am currently looking for a dive buddy for Figi Mid March. No crazy people please! I have reservations at Dakuresort.com and will be diving with Jean Michel Cousteau dive team at a very reasonable price. This is on my bucket list.

Howdy and welcome to Scubaboard. :admingreet:

Sound like you have a good start. More training and more practice will help.

Best diver I ever knew told me to take one skill/task at a time and perfect it (as well as I could) before moving to the next. She (and now I) firmly believe that any C-card is a learners permit. It covers what you need to practice till it becomes a reflex. For example, practice weighting and buoyancy till you can hover perfectly at any depth (harder in cold water than without neoprene). Once you have that down move to trim. Once done with that perhaps removing and re-donning the BC. Once you have all the skills covered by that C-card it's time for another learning permit.
