Thanks Dr.Bill! I think Jaws 3 was actually the cheesiest of all. lol Well, I chickened out on the first dive. I felt totally out of control and the water was a little rough... visibility was not good... About an hour later though I calmed my nerves and try tried again... I was scared to death...

That's really funny. lol Thanks. :)

ha ha. I know, right? I think they just couldn't afford a babysitter and were desperate to get out to a movie. It was a drive in and they told me to stay on the floor in the backseat in my pile of blankets and pillows and NOT WATCH!! I think that was probably worse!! Sitting back there and...

WOW!!! Amazing.... SO TRULY Amazing... Thank you!! :)

Those pics aren't photo-shopped are they? lol They look unreal. Please tell me they're not.

Do they make underwater iPods so I can have that pleasant music playing in my head and not the Jaws theme music? lol Seriously tho, that was lovely. Thos pics are INSANE!! Wow... That seriously makes me feel a lot better... Seriously. THANK YOU ALL!!!!

I appreciate all of your advice, and sharing your experiences. I am honestly feeling a little more at ease about it... I think watching the movie as a kid planted a LaBamba like premonition in my head like "that's how you're going to die" so I've got that goin' for me... lol But I am "running...

Okay I'm starting to feel a little less nervous about this. Thank you all so much for your wisdom!! I'll let you all know how it goes and I'll try not to have a heart attack if I see a reef shark. OMG. I cannot even imagine paying to find and swim with sharks!! yikes!! Y'all are some brave...

Never heard of swamp diving. Can't imagine the visibility makes the cost worth it. lol I used your link tho to find the Clear Spring Scuba Park. That looks like the place to do a refresher! :) Thanks!

Thanks everybody!! This is like the nicest place I've been in a while. lol I appreciate the support!! :) I'll def. be getting myself back in the game with a refresher and some local dives, polishing off those skills (and books!) before the trip. Definitely dont want to be a danger to myself or...

Chances are good I wont see one right? What are the odds really? Anyone know? For a reef dive in los cabos last week in august, first week in sept.? I'm going to have to check like migration patterns or something. lol Am I just doing the opposite of what I posted this for? Am I getting myself...

Okay... All good advice... Cav's you're easing my mind a little. I freaked out snorkling last year in florida cause there was nothing to look at but blue and sand and then the soundtrack started playing in my head and I bolted. I'm hoping it all just goes smoothe and I wont even see a shark...

Well, I first attempted to get certified about 12 years ago and tore my ACL playing softball just before my open water... So I took the course all over again about 3 years ago and have only done about 7 dives, all in the rivers and springs in Florida. I just moved to Dallas last December and...

Let me just add too, that I realize it's irrational and completely unlikely that I'll even see a shark, let alone be eaten by one. I'm just looking for tips to psche myself up for the dive without psyching myself into fear and panic mode, making me a danger to myself and my dive buddy (hubby)...

Hello. I'm Sam(antha). New to the site, gearing up for a trip to Cabo in late August early Sept. Haven't been diving in a couple of years and wanting to bone up. Will be looking for a refresher course I think here soon... Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself, say HI! and let you know I'll...

Hi Folks. First day on the site. Newbie to diving... So I did my cert. dive and subsequent dives in a natural springs area where I quickly got over my fear of gators. Now I'm going to Cabo San Lucas and will be doing a reef dive. I'm looking for tips to get over my fear of JAWS and to not...
