I’m not easily scared, but a lot of apprehension went along with my first 30’ dive It seemed like 100’ to me. Only the amazing sights on the reef took my mind off the gear and at that point the gear seemed to almost disappear and I was hooked.

So, I guess what I am saying is that claustrophobia aside, using the equipment can be a bit daunting. As others have said a lot of pool time is the way to go, it will help you relax in the equipment.

I also hyper-ventilated like mad the first time I used the regulator.

Hopefully, given enough time it will all come together for you.



Good Luck
