FINALLY....into the water!

[Supernal]

I have my FIRST scuba class tonight. I'll be getting into the water but without any equipment yet because the instructors told us to wait until they could advise us. Wonder what I'll learn tonight? I'll keep you posted!! :scubadive

That is a very encouraging start. IMO new divers should be in the water for an hour or 2 minimum before ever getting a regulator near their lips. We look forward to a full report and hope you are having a lot of great new experiences tonight.

:cheering: I don't know - I skpped that step with my Inst, after we discussed my Resort dives. I guess snorkel, mask, fins experience to become accustomed?

Have fun.

Well, I failed the swim test.

I had to swim 8 lengths of a 50-yd pool. After about 3-1/2 lengths, the instructor told me to stop because I was clearly exhausted. I could barely get out of the pool. I didn't think I was THAT out of shape because I walk a fair bit, but I guess I am, especially in the upper body.

I did fine on treading water.

I'm glad I signed up for swimming lessons, starting this Sunday. I'm also starting deep water aquafit 3x a week.

My new goal is to get fit enough to take scuba training later on.
