Hello Everyone,

I wanted to post and say Thanks for all the great advice and that it really helped.

My husband and I both are now certified divers. Nassau was beautiful and warm.

The first time in the ocean was scary and I was not sure if I could do it but my instructor (he was great) promised if I didn't like it he was bring me back up but I ended up loving every minute. We dove on a few walls to about 80ft and swam with sharks on the very last dive of the week.

Cannot wait to get in the water again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome to the "club".

80ft dives in the first week? Sounds like you should have had him sign you off for your Advanced Open Water deep dive as well.

Congratulations girl!! I remember how nervous you were just a month ago.
Were we right? Did you find it to be much easier to do all the skills in the ocean? I know when I got certified, I wanted the instructor to hurry up with all the skills so we could start swimming around! So I did all the skills first try as fast as I could. LOL My husband was so embarassed by me because I was looking around constantly (at all the fish) and not watching the instructor. She had to keep making clicking noises to get me to look back at her in order to do the next skill.

Congrats again, and remember it gets easier every time you get in the water. Relax and have fun.
