I just signed up for an hour of an instructor running me through each of my least-favorite skills several times, followed by a Rescue class later this month. Wish me luck!
My least-favorite skills? Mask-off and regulator-out skills (exchanges, recoveries, free-flows). I ended up choking on a lot of water while learning them. Better to drill them than to avoid them, though. I got lazy about drilling them during regular dives, so I'm going to force myself to do it with a modified Scuba Review.
Both of these make me a little nervous, but hopefully I'll be a safer and more confident diver at the end of the month!
