Hi everybody,
I just got my open water...Did it with my g/f at a Holiday Resort in South of Europe, (alarms ringing already?) some things worried me a little bit, it all seemed a bit light and rushed when i read these forums of what some divers go through in training. Wondering what more could/should I expect from my training though, I can clear my mask, pretty comfortable in the water from years of snorkelling. I wonder if we are "safe divers" or if we got rushed, at risk of my own safety, or am I just a nervous new guy...We did 1 pool session, 3 short dives from the shore (no more than 20 minutes per dive) and 1 boat dive to 18m for about 30 minutes. No problems, felt great, had a wonderful time, the instructor was friendly, but didn't speak much english. We are thinking to goto nemo33 in Belgium or dive4life near to Cologne to test our skills out next week. Anything to think about?
thanks! Looking forward to see more underwater!
