My girlfriend and I got certified on Saturday. We are on to our AOW.
Got are own equipment, booked a trip to Bonaire with our LDS for November, trying to figure out how to dive more often with our schedules...yes, we are hooked!!!!
By the way, after we got certified, we went with an assistant instructor to check out a boat in about 35 feet of water. The visibility was horrendous..again....I was not real happy about the viz, but I felt fine, but my girlfriend later told me she had a feeling of claustaphobia and was very uncomfortable.
My question is...is there anything her and I can practice together in conditions like that for her to become more comfortable...sadly to say..most of our dives are not going to be in the pristine clear oceans, but in the waters of the Midwest. Is it a matter of keeping at it until she becomes more comfortable? Any suggestions?
