I just joined the forum here to learn how to get into Scuba. I haven't even signed up for classes yet. But I want to do this the right way this time.
I say this time because 20 years ago I took a two day diving class at a resort in Tahiti with my husband and by the third day they had us 75 feet down. Needless to say it didn't go very well (hubby almost ended up dead) and as you could guess he was more than hesitant to ever suit up again. Well 20 years later my daughter (12 years old) wants to go diving in Australia so we are planning a trip exactly two years from now.
So this gives us two years to take classes, buy our own equipment and get as comfortable as we can before we go on our big trip. No more rushing it. So I would like get pointed in the right direction on where to begin. I do know one thing as far as equipment goes I want to do the full face masks with communication devices. To me it just seems safer. And if we learn on them from the very beginning we should be more proficient when the time comes.
Well that's my story guys...I'm just here to learn all I can.
