Well after 6 month of reading and studying I've finally signed up for my OW. I start this coming Saturday. I'm both excited and nervous at the same, but I believe I'm as prepared as a person could possible be, except for I could use to loose some weight. But I sure a lot of divers say that too...

Yea I did, I've been back now but I had to stop reading it. Since I have asthma I did alot of reading on it and DCS. Pretty soon I was to the point I was too scared to go through with it. All the horror stories and what could happen. Well it was quite overwhelming. Sometime there is such a thing...

Background: I've recently got interested in scuba and am currently pursuing my OW certification. My wife however has had no interest in scuba diving as of yet. Her comments are " I am perfectly happy staying on top of the water." I am not going to pressure her into diving, but I have told her...
