Hello everyone, I am new to this board but I am very familiar with scubaboard.
I guess there's no getting around this - so, here it is...
Jesus has blessed me a lot to go diving in a lot of places around the world. I am an Advanced Nitrox Diver who (in recent 5 - 6 years) only get's to dive every oh I don't know 6 months or so due to my work.
My dives are very comfortable for the exception of when I'm back home on the East Coast - NC area. Whenever I go out on the board (wheather hot or cold outside) as soon as I put my gear on (dive gear, wet-suit *3 mm*) I start to feel very nautious and one time (for the first time in my life) I actually got sick on the boat! Of course, I'd like to think it was due to some nasty granoala bar with icing from the store, but still, I was getting nautious every time.
On top of that, before I dive on deep dives *80 - 100 feet* I get nervous - I still make the dives, but, I have this thought like what if my regulator or system stops working (especially when hunting for fossils, etc. where my dive buddy may go in a different direction and I can't reach him, etc.) or I am unable to find my way around - (need to get used to a compass I know) or if I tie a line down using my reel (what if it breaks or comes loose and I can't get back)?
See what I mean - this is the 1st time I've ever opened up my thoughts on this but I think I'm feeling better.
None-the-less, can anyone give me some advice on how to clear this up?
