Diving Tips From Experienced SB Divers to nOObies

[DOkie]

Hand your fins to the person on the boat "fin side" first. They'll appreciate it. (grin)

 

[CJ Waid]

Bring lots of beer and doritos.

Dramamine, Bonine, the patch, the bracelet, whatever... read the instructions and begin taking them before you need them on the boat!
If all fails, find out where the leeward side of the boat is and bring a bottle of water to rinse afterward. Do not, repeat, do not go downstairs to the head.

Thank you for your consideration. You have good company

Don't trust everything you read on the internet. There are usually different opinions to virtually every issue (including this one...hehehehe).

This is going to sound a little zen...

When you get in the water, act like you belong. Look at the fish, how they seem to move from place to place almost effortlessly. Notice their streamlined and horizontal position in the water. Observe how they are never in a hurry unless there is a darn good reason. That's how you should strive to be.

'Watch a fish' is a good one; I tell students that all the time.

Always enjoy the type of diving your doing. We are always best, aware and most prepared in things we enjoy the doing most. And never ever go beyond your limitations - a good diver always knows, understands and is comfortable with their limitations.

I had a fish in lake washington the other day turn and look directly at me and then start back kicking away from me... I can only wonder what was going through that fish's mind...

I'm pretty sure it was that spear you were holding.
