NoDiver I know the feeling do I have to go that deep, what if
I dont think you should be too concerned at this stage, just get on with it. On a bottom dive with a gentle slope, whether you are 12 or 18m down you will not feel much of a difference, and remember you are entitled to abandon a dive at any time, in case just dont bolt up, signal and then you and the Instructor can assent slowly. One thing I would recommend is that you get your own Instructor so he/she only have you as a diver that should make things much easier.
I think you will be fine once you get on with it and, it is a great feeling when you have completed the dive and you get the debriefing, you feel so relaxed just wait and see.
Good Luck and let us know how you did.
Mjatkins, Yes you are right logging 13.3m as 12m thats to cover the Instructors butt.
