Hi there,
I am new to scuba diving and I've just started a training course with my friends. We've been in swimming pool maybe three times so far and done a lot of different exercises - taking automatic from the mouth, emergency ascend, pivoting, clearing the mask etc.
I still have a big problem when I fill the mask with water. When water gets in my nose I always start to swallow and I drink a little bit of it )) Sorry for my explanation but it is little bit difficult in english. I tried to take off the mask and go under the water just with the automatic, but i just cannot breath, still feeling water in my nose. When I imagine i will have to take off my mask 20m under the surface, I am pretty nervous from it and I don't feel like making it..
Probably it's getting better by the time but I am not sure if to continue with the course because we should go to the sea in one month to finish it but I don't know if to go there when I cannot make this.
Did you experience same problem?
I am still uncomfortable under the water and scared little bit from bit but I guess it's just because it's all new to me..
Thanks for your advices.
