Just dropping a couple of lines to introduce myself. First I have to say that I always had wanted to try scuba but never realized all the thinks that need to be taking into consideration. I just got my OPW certification, I kind of gave into pier pressure by 3 family members that were going to take the course (and I mean giving in because I was trying to save money for my baby girl on the way that should be born any day now). They coned my because they said that we would receive al these free stuff and they did not tell me how expensive the equipment would be. Well they pressure me again into buying the equipment (they didn't need to pressure that much). Now I have the equipment and the weather has not been in our favor, so far the only dives I have done were the 4 for certification. I found this forum because I had nose bleeds on my dives and I was trying to find some answers or help and to make sure was not putting my self in danger. From what I have found it sound like I could be having problems equalizing and I have read and seeing some techniques and I am just trying to go diving so I can test them. If all goes well in next dives I make I would have to say this could be one of the best investment I have made. I love nature and just snorkling gets me going I can't image how it would be once I get confortable deep down to really relax and enjoy the surrounding.
P.S. I got to see a 10ft Ray the 3 dive and that was enough to get me hooked.
