..... The other thing I really had a hard time with was not moving around a lot under water. I am a figgiter(sp) by nature and also it is just second nature to always be moving in the water. I wasn't nervous at all, just having a hard time not moving. I'll work on it.

I'm the same way about moving around when I'm floating on the surface talking to someone. I notice it more if I'm at the pool. I think it is because I tend to gesture with my hands a lot when I talk so I have to remind myself to be still. Not kick my feet while floating and keep hands still.

I look forward to hearing about your OW check out dives. Good luck, you're going to have a blast diving!
