Hello Everyone,
I just started my OW training. Had my first class w/gear this weekend. Not a good experience. I had problems breathing through the regulator, and got "panicky" every time I went under water. I kept getting pressure on my chest and I could not breath. I suspect that is more mental than lack of skill. Took a while to get used to it (some how). Well, I even had nightmares that night about being in the water and breathing throught the regulator. I am starting to question if this is really for me, and I made a mistake by signing up for the classes.
Did anyone has felt like this at the beginning?
