How does someone get over being nervous about diving? Short history...I bought diving lessons for my fiance and they were 2 for 1 so I went ahead and did it. I am not a fan of water. I like boats but not fast ones. I can swim, but not really one to horse around in water that I cant stand it. Tried diving once in Okinawa years ago, with other certified divers, but didnt like the bubbles and couldnt stay down. Not to mention that it was rough seas. Not smart, I know. Young and stupid. So here I am now. Certified. Got my open water in California. It was alright. Dont like the night diving that much. Went again on another live aboard out of Miami to the Bahamas. Had fun, but got caught in a drift and surfaced when I was low on air and found the boat WAY far away. Panic. Thank God for airhorns. The rest of the trip I was worried about the location of the boat the whole time. Navigation courses are definetly something I need. So here we are planning our next dive trip. Decided on Cozumel since we are getting married there anyway. A year away and I am already nervous. Got more nervous to hear it was all drift diving. How does someone get over the feeling of not being secure? I am not sure diving was a sport for me, but I am determined to get past my fears. I look forward to our trips and thank God everytime I surface, but my nervousness is nerve racking. Any tips? Any ideas?
