Hello All, just found this site today. Live in the Toledo,OH area. Made some stupid mistakes on first dive since I got certified, but hopefully not too serious. First mistake, trust that the experienced divers your with will take you on and make sure that you got it right. Trust no one but yourself. Second mistake, clear your ears, clear your ears, clear your ears! BEFORE YOU NEED TOO!
Hard lesson learned. My ears hurt slightly, feels like I need to keep popping them (24 hours after dive).
DO-surface slowly, don't worry about keeping up with everyone else, follow the guidelines, not the group, no matter how experienced they are
DON'T-let other people mess with your equipment, you can ask for all the help and advice, but you be the one to make the adjustments
DO-discuss in detail the dive plan, where your going, how long you will be down, and when you need to turn back
Looking for a group to dive with in Toledo.
Thanks,
Lakeeriebum
