OOOH. So glad I can actually help someone here.
I too was apprehensive of giant stride entries. But... you gotta do 'em, and I just bit the bullet and did it. When I popped up, I thought "not that bad."
Then I had to do back roll. I don't even like walking backwards much less falling into the water backwards. Again, just bit the bullet and did it,popped up, and giggled and said "piece of cake." All the experienced divers in the pool for an advanced class laughed!!!
Removing my mask in my open water cold cert dive petrified me, but I practiced and visualized and did it!!!!!
Like someone said on these threads... as long as you can breathe... you'll be fine. Keep telling yourself that!
