Looking for some insight as to what happened recently on last 2 dives.
A couple of weekends ago I had some really good dives in mull on various walls and shipwrecks, but on the last dive I was at 33 metres and my buddy dropped a good few metres below which I was uncomfortable with. I stopped and signaled him to come back up, which he did but I started to feel a bit funny/panic and never usually have this problem and if I do I stop breathe and focus until I can continue. Tried that but it kept getting worse, I just wanted to get out of there, I ascended to more until I was at 15 and felt like I could continue and I finished the dive. I thought maybe just some narcosis and was eager to test myself on next dive as i wanted to make sure I was ok still underwater. Next dive yesterday I was only at 16 metres and was fine then all of a sudden I can’t remember why but just started to get that feeling again and it wouldn’t go away until I stopped and took some deep breaths. I remember thinking I maybe can’t dive anymore what’s wrong with me I need to finish the dive and give it all up. I have over 100 dives and have dealt with a few different scenarios and have never had this before now I fear it will happen again as il be thinking about it too much, like a switch going off when I think about being underwater which I’ve always been comfortable with before. Maybe thinking too much? What’s gotten into me?
