Thinking about learning to scuba

[freedivernd]

She was with 2 instructors and one held her hand the whole time except for a short time when they handed her a puffer fish.. which the next day bit off a good portion of the instructors wife's finger :o. They ran her bc and guided her all the way.. I was grateful that they did such a good dive with her as she is a fish underwater and would be freediving right along with me except she can't equalize her left ear on a breath hold.

I think its best to start diving in a cold, low viz environment. Once you can dive here, you can dive anywhere! Its easier to think to oneself.....it can only get better from here on...rather than.....Well, this is the best i will ever get, it only gets worse from here.....I just think that if you trained in the tropics with 100ft viz and 80deg water, you are far less apt to div in 10ft viz and 45deg water...and if you dont.....you would be missing a whole bunch of great diving..
