Help!! I really want to do this!! Any help would be extremely appreciated!! I had my first and almost my 2nd day of confined water dives this past weekend. I did OK the first day with the dives except when I did the alternate breathing w/ my buddy's octopus, the mouthpiece had a huge hole and I gulped a large amount of water. That was pretty bad but I got over it and finished the rest of the day. Then yesterday, we all got in the pool and I finished the 1st fin pivot and I was waiting for the rest of the class to finish when I started getting really sick to my stomach. I tried to relax and breathe through it, but I really thought I was going to throw-up. So, up I went. After a little while and taking off all my equipment. I suited up and tried again without a hood (thinking that maybe that was my problem). Well, after trying again for about 5 minutes under the water, my stomach started again and again I went up. This time for good. I really want to learn to dive. My husband and I are doing this together and I feel like I'm "letting him down" (I know he's OK, but I feel bad). I don't know if part of what I was feeling was anxiety or if it was an upset stomach or a little of both. I'm now afraid of finishing except that it is something I really want to do. Is there any advice out there? The dive shop is being great and telling me I can come back any time and learn privately and I hope this will do it, but I'm wondering if I'm the only person out there that feels like this. Help!!
