Hello this is my 1st post... Newbee to ScubaBoard and somewhat new to scuba diving. Special thanks to my husband who received his several years ago but couldn't dive because he didn't have a buddy. He finally convinced me to try it in a pool with his divemaster and long story short, here I am. I liked it so must that we've made the investment in our own equipment with the help of our divemaster. We tried it out for the 1st time on Friday.
History: I received my SDI open water certification in July of 2019 and did my first dive shortly after that in the Florida Keys. Unfortunately my 2nd dive was a no go because I got motion sickness and couldn't get off the bench. Of course our return to the Keys in 2020 was cancelled due to Covid. However, we have been able to keep our skills up by diving at sites around NY. There really are some nice dive locations in NY State. My favorite is the Islander Wreck off the shore in Alex Bay, great visibility even at 60 ft. We've also been able to do some local lake diving, not my favorite with sometimes 3 feet visibility but I think it's helped me gain awareness and confidence in my skills.
I am excited that we will be heading back to the Keys this Saturday which is what brought me to ScubaBoard because I was searching for recommendations for motion sickness. I'd hate to ruin it again and want to be prepared. Maybe it wont' be an issue this time since I have some more dive time on my logbook.
