well i start class tomorrow but the place i taking my class at had a free discovering scuba so i fig i take it.
we was in a reg dive pool 4 ft then a straight drop to 12 ft
we was in the water for about 45 min but i do have a few question.
first off no pain what so ever until now about a hr later my ears hurt a little they started to when we came up but i stopped and and got the pressure out of my ears before i went on to the top.
was wondering if this is kind of normal for the first time under that long to fell a little discomfort in the ear?
2 my mouth made a lot of spit while under and it felt funny/discomfort to swallow was wondering if that was normal i asked but he said not to swallow but i felt i had to i was making a lot of spit in my mouth and i guess it a habit to swallow my spit.
other then that it was fun being under water and breathing. they didn't go over much with us at all pretty much just a few hand sings and how the BCD worked and the air worked
i sent a little bit of time on my own looking at the gages under water because i fig this would be the same stuff we used in class. the comp was pretty basic well i didn't do anything to but look at all the read outs.
temp depth time air compass something else just cannot think of it i knew what it was when i was looking at it
their was 4 people in the group 2 had their ow and was using it as a refresher
clearing the mask wasn't as hard as i thought it would be i never got 100% out tho always had just a little around the nose i think my air bubbles was causing a leak the dm had me clear the mask and was looking at the side around the jaw/ear when i was breathing.
i have to admit i was nervous going down the first time. i was having all them thoughts man what if i can't breath. what if ....... thinking i don't want to be the one having the problems and make everyone else time short/bad but everything went fine but the swallowing and now a lil ear pain i mention before
