hi there
I am new to diving and still completing my certification.
My pool training was about 3 hrs, going from 6:30pm to almost 10pm at night. I found as the night went on, around 8:45pm or so I couldn't concentrate as well. I was tired and the newness of the experience took a toll. I didn't pass.
I need to go back and try to pass. I found that I had a few issues.
1. My lungs are just not very strong. I do almost entirely mobility and strength exercise work. My aerobic/endurance is not so good. I want to work this up.
2. I felt really comfortable taking off the mask/BCD in the shallow end of the pool. We then went to the deep end. I really felt overwhelmed with fear by the experience.
Does anyone have any tips or resources for tackling either of these issues? I think there are both physical and psychological boundaries to me passing my cert for now.
Thanks.
