So I heard all the horror stories.
"Don't worry about it, it will make you hate scubadiving but keep going it will get better" etc etc.
It must be because I'm new, but it wasn't nearly as bad as anyone said. I did my best hover ever (kid you not). Though in all fairness, my fin pivot sucked ... I had one floaty foot, one non- floaty foot (no ankle weights btw), but on my 2nd attempt it all worked out
I must say I don't like the squeeze feeling. Hopefully I'll do ok with that once I'm at depth. Anyways, I just thought I'd post this here, since I think that if you're going to dive dry, don't hesitate if you are a new diver. I figure since I don't feel like I have good buoyancy anyways, I'm not going to be worried about have to 'adjust' alot. If I had waited until I had more dives under my belt, I think it may have been tougher (on my ego ).
I guess most of all I'm just glad that I'm not regretting spending all that money.
Thanks for listening to my (happy) rant
