Hello everyone,
I have just completed my confined padi dives and will be flying to fort lauderdale to complete my open water with pro dive. Needless to say, I am hooked on scuba and can't wait to hit the open water. I have spent countless hours online and reading magizines concerning problems wtih scuba and ask myself why would anyone want to do this. There seems to be so many things that could go wrong, but for some reason, I can't wait to try it out. It seems like that as long as you check your gear beforehand, stay close to your buddy, stick with your plan, and don't do anything stupid underwater, you should be ok. I read that pretty much everyone that dives consistantly will have some sort of problem(big or little) at some point. My biggest worry is having some uncontrollable panic attack and shooting for the surface. So I guess my question is, Why do so many people dive?
