Hi guys, I've just signed up as I could really do with some help please...
On my last holiday around a year ago I witnessed a fatality on a dive trip (medical not accidental). I'd only done 20 dives at that point, was abroad on my own, and it really really shook me. I got back in the water before the end of my holiday and although I was nervous, after a few dives I felt like I got my confidence back (although thinking about it I was probably still in shock).
The thing is, I've booked a liveaboard in the Maldives for this month, and I cant stop thinking about things going wrong. I'm really anxious for my safety. Especially as I've heard about the strong currents there and have been reading various accident threads etc. I couldn't wait to go but now it's nearly here I'm scared rigid.
So I just wanted to ask if you have any advice, I want to be excited about my holiday and diving again, not tearing up at the thought of it
