Deep Hull:Just finished the academic portions of PADI OW training last week and will do closed water dives Tuesday and Thursday. I am stoked and excited but worried about breathing on the regulator. I know I will be able to, but have those "never experienced it" jitters. Same held me back from taking private pilot lessons two years, I was thinking I would freak out on landing, etc., then I tried it and WOW! I hope the same applies with the dives, guess I will find out tomorrow.
Couple of questions, I want two things out for diving. 1) I want to wreck dive in the future, and 2) I want to learn spear fishing. How much time and how many post training dives should I perform before I even think about taking the associated training classes?
Welcome aboard!! I would have to agree with the other divers so far. For now, I would recommend focusing on what you are doing under the water. Focus on using and learning your equipment. Once you feel more comfortable at different depths and using your equipment...then move on to specialty courses.
Northwest Divers is right around the corner from you on E. 50 ( Across from Greenway Ford). They are a great little dive shop and generally run trips every month to various locations, some of which include wrecks. I have been on several of their shops trips and have a lways had a great time. The shop is knowledgeable and the people are great!.
Enjoy diving and maybe I will run into some time.
