Hi from Alberta

[Lorddaxter]

Hubby and I are 40 something, he is a scotsac instructor and I'm a padi open water diver, we used to live in Scotland but now stay in alberta canada.

I didn't learn to swim till I learned to dive, lol! ...I'm still not the best but my hubby thankfully keeps me right!
i was terrified of water when he met me, numerous instructors and an Olympic medal swimmer tried to teach me to no avail

Apparently I'm a pretty decent diver for someone scared of water, I think it's as I know if I panic I die lol!

I tend to snorkel more as I find it more relaxing, especially since I invested in a swish wetsuit which gives me buoyancy confidence!
Plus I have sciatica and struggle with the tank weights, getting old isn't fun!

Anyway just a little introduction so you know what your dealing with

My first dive certification was my SSI open water from Subsea Adventure on Calgary Trail 25 years ago.
