Hello !
This weekend the weather was finally better, and we had our Open Water classes (after 9 classes in the pool). For me, it was incredible. After all the panic I had felt before with the other instructor, it was most of all realizing that the panic was gone even more incredible, I couldnt wait to get into the water. It was rather cold, but everything was fine. There was a current at the bottom, so much at first that the dive was almost cancelled, but we managed to swim a bit farther from the shore where the water was considerably more calm.
The problem was the next day ! I was tired, and the suits were still WET. The feeling of dressing my suit like that was wonderful, compared to the chilly morning wind blowing on it when the boat was moving. I managed to do all the exercises, but because of that I was at the bottom for too long. A big loss of energy, I was so cold I was suddenly dizzy and having trouble breathing but remembered all the training, and calmed down, warned the instructor and we ascended.
And so, here I am, certified
My BIG thanks to everyone who answered my questions and gave me support
