I know you all see this same post over and over, but I have to jump into this pool (not OW certi yet so it's the best I can do). Getting ready for my second night of pool diving and I'm just feeling ready to give up. I can't remember anything that I've learned in the book, haven't even dared to try the final yet, last time I dove in the pool EVERYONE was getting all of the tasks the first time and I barely got anything. I'm a nose breather so putting my face in the water and breathing for 30 seconds was TORTURE..took me three days to get all of the clorine out of my sinuses. Mask fogged the entire time, never felt like it fit (because I kept breathing out through my nose and breaking the seal) never managed to get neutrally bouyant, BCD always felt like it was floating up on me, blah blah blah. And I'm not even going to go into using a compass!
I thought this was a good idea when the BF suggested it but now I'm totally re-thinking everything. Oh and did I tell you that I get to get my certification dives done in the north Atlantic ocean in April if I want to dive on my May vacation!! Just one more thing to not look forward to.
Have had nightmares three nights in a row about having to go into the pool again. I've come along way, the Discover Scuba was 30 minutes of hyper-ventalating (SP?) followed by 20 minutes of fun. My sense of humor is about all that I can afford to have left and that is leaving quickly. Suggestions?
