Hello everyone!
My name is Karim, I'm originally from Lebanon, but I'm currently living in the UAE.
One month back, I had completely no idea that I will go on the path of scubadiving, ESPECIALLY that I'm not usually fond of water activities, and let's say I'm a bit scared of the sea.
The idea mainly came up after I was planning a trip to Indonesia next year, and from what I gathered, scubadiving seemed like an unmissable opportunity, especially in Komodo.
I thought it was about time I erase any sorts of fear I had and take it to the extreme: REGISTER FOR PADI OW. And boy was it an experience.
The feeling of being able to breathe underwater was really mind bending, and the more time I spent underwater, the more I even felt in my element. But that doesn't really mean that my experience went flawlessly .. Panic ascents when clearing masks, complete confusion about how to maintain buoyancy, mental pressure causing all sorts of memory loss.
Despite all of that, I went through the entire course, and felt really, REALLY accomplished after my last sea dive. I'm a person that usually stays out of the water completely, so it definitely flipped my world upside down.
Not only did I get over any fear I had, I'm now so taken over by everything Scuba!
Looking forward to have an amazing time on ScubaBoards and underwater.
Cheers!
