Is this like childbirth?

[MNLakeDiver]

we have all had expereances that have left us asking why are we doing this. but once we got through the challange we enjoy the sport even more. I truly believe that you can make it through the course and when the stress is off and you are diving at your leisuer you will look back and know it was worth it.
listen to the instructous and DMs on the board they have great advise and talk to your instructor about practicing in the pool with out the class. a friend of mine was nervous about doing the skills infront of the class and was allowd to work on them in the pool untill comfortable and then did them with the class the next week.
