Both of you hehe
On our 30th dive my wife told me she had a good time!! Of course I "thought" she was having a good time way before that. She was diving well but was unsure of herself, and I failed to realize she was struggling with that. I watch closer now trying to be a better buddy
I do dive a bit more with other buddies than she does . When a few of us go she is usually the only female and it seemed to make her a little uncomfortable last year. So we are joining a club where there are a lot of other female divers so she can have some other buddies to dive with when I can't go. I asked her to join with me, she doesn't know my reason behind it. I do believe she would enjoy just going with the girls. We'll see how it goes.
Only having a couple of dives together is way too early to fret. Don't be afraid to yell at him and call him any name you want to underwater, he won't be able to tell anyway. Sometimes Pam (wife) has even let the lobsters go! It must be a picture, me trying to yell and her laughing.
Keep it fun, keep it fun, keep it fun

The way I see it, there are pros and cons to diving with your SO. My wife and I are very different athletically, so any other sport has one of us holding back to stay with the other. Diving is not done better by the stronger, or more co-ordinated of the two, so we can dive at much the same level.
The con is that I find that SO's lose the "politeness factor" that we all extend to friends or acquaintances. Where she will tell a dive buddy to "maybe slow down a little", I get "WHAT THE $$#@#$ ARE YOU DOING?" Of course, I could just be a lousy buddy
The ultimate pro is that we can spend an hour or two doing something together, and the rest of the day re-hashing and discussing it.

Becky,
The apollo's are great. I have a pair, my otherhalf had been trying to "borrow" them (permanantly) since I got them a few years ago. Just before she began her ITC, I gave them to her and She absolutely loves them. Of course, I missed those fins, ended up getting another pair. I would have given her a new set, but she really wanted mine. Go figure!
