I am fairly new to diving at <1yr. I origianally got OW certified to be able to dive while on a cruise last year. I have always been fascinated by the interesting critters & things in the ocean, and while snorkeling is fun, I wanted to get closer to the action. I did a resort course in Grand Cayman on another cruise and it was fantastic to say the least! The thought of being able to breathe underwater was super cool along with the feeling of wieghtless flight. At home I am rather land locked, and so I am relegated to diving in old quarries, strip pits & lakes. These are in no way as interesting as the ocean, but there are still things to see & do. I have met many, many wonderful people while diving and I am looking forward to meeting more. As with any sport, you only get out of it what you put into it. I haven't read any of your other posts, so I don't really know what has frustrated you, but I've always looked at frustration in learning a sport as a challenge to be overcome, not a deterent. It is all a part of the learning proccess. All I can do is wish you the best of luck in your endeavour, and hope for you that things settle into thier proper places, so that perhaps, someday, you may enjoy this sport.
