Need a little advice. I got my 14 year old daughter OW certified last fall. Since then I have been working with her on improving her comfort, skills, and dive planing. She does great when there is good visibility and she has reference points. She is really struggling with what she calls the “void”. Basically when visibility is poor or we are defending or ascending without reference points she gets very scared.
I am working with her on preventing poor visibility. We dive a lot of lakes with very silty bottoms and she is kicking up a storm, so working with her on frog kicking vs flutter kicking and maintaining good buoyancy.
Does anyone have any good techniques or drills to help get her more comfortable when diving with limited or obscured refrence points?
