I'm a relatively new diver with about 10 dives in fresh water (open water cert). I'm struggling with a weird issue. Every time i go to the water, no matter who i'm with or how confident i feel about about myself and the dive, i always begin hyperventilating about 30 feet into the dive. Normally i can just concentrate and get my breathing and heart rate back down. After that, i'm fine for the rest of the day. It's just that first entry.
Is this a psychological reactive to the dark enviroment, temp change, and difference in breathing effort? All of the above? None of the above?
Do any of you do a shollow water "pre-dive" warm up?
This will not keep me from diving, but i think it would help me if i understood more about the problem.
Thanks for your comment.
