Nervous Nellie goes diving
June 23, 2008That’s right folks, hubby and I took an intro to scuba class on Saturday. (For the record, I’m the nervous Nellie not him.) I’m not the strongest swimmer so I generally avoid water deeper than I am tall. The class was supposed to last an hour but that quickly turned into two. We had a fabulous (and patient) instructor.
I’m not saying that I will take the weekend series of classes and/or become certified but I did enjoy myself. I even completed a ‘dive’ to the bottom of the pool at a depth of twelve feet. I’ve never been that far underwater before. I was nervous but it wasn’t at all hard and now I know how to reach the surface from 12′ feet below. I definitely need to work on my breathing (still can’t figure out how/why I can’t do that right) but I’d definitely try it again in confined (vs open) water.
