Just a
quick update. In 8 days I retake my confined water dive - mask off test, and
I’ve made progress thanks to this forum.
I took the comments and divided
them into three categories, what-to-do, how-to-react, and words of encouragement.
I’ve put myself through the paces (don’t laugh now): bathtub with mask &
snorkel, shower with mask, and into pool to take off mask. I’m now able to SLOWLY take off my mask underwater. It
takes me a while to work up the nerve to remove the mask, but I’ve done it a
few times.
Yesterday, my son pulled me
through the water a few times, with my snorkel on and my mask off.
If it wasn’t for this forum
- I KNOW I wouldn’t have made it this far.
It’s embarrassing to admit that I’m dealing with something so fundamental
at 52 years old, but becoming certified is on my bucket list – I will do this.
Thanks everyone for being my
Buddy!
