I just certified OW in late June and I know panic. At first I felt like I wasn't getting enough air so I bolted to the surface. I hated mask clearing, always got water in my nose. Had trouble finding my reg. hose on retrieval by arm sweep and hose at reg. Each and every time I panic, I remind myself that "I can handle this". When I certified before each skill I would take a few deep breaths to get me mentally perpared. Then perform the skill.

Just did 3 post cert dives last week in salt water. Had a blast. Had to clear mask and remove reg. no problem.
