Finally signing up for the course!

I'm just certified, just received my real card this week. Already 11 dives. One yesterday and one tomorrow. Yesterday 30 feet down with my son in the Gulf of Mexico. It was like a desert, but quiet & weightless. Starfish a few small fish a couple of crabs not much, just beauty, tranquility and a compass to keep you on track.
Don't worry about certification- yes practice- yes study - yes be proficient---but are you going to love what you encounter...keep your regulator in your mouth when you are in awe of what is around you. I've swam with schools of fish as they washed over me. Two bottlenosed porpoises, and two manatees. Both came to me, I did not chase after them.
Don't let any fears stop any of the beauties of the sea from touching your life.
I'm ALL WET Hope you will be soon!
