Discover scuba, wow it is awesome

Tweet

I took my husband on a surprise Sunday for a discover scuba glass. It was so awesome. We only got to swim in a small pool but they did a quick over view and then let you swim around and play in the pool. It is so weird at first because you see and hear all those bubbles and it sounds really load. It feels unnatural to be breathing under water. I have a hard time breathing through my mouth and even though I thought I was I was not. I was also breathing through my nose as well so I had nonstop bubbles going from my mask and regulator. Once the instructor told me that I had to breath through my mouth and I should only see bubbles when I breath out I started being aware of it. I asked him if I could hold my nose so that I could make myself breath through my mouth. He said during discover I could but if I took the actual course I would not be allowed to then. That helped. I held my nose shut for a few minutes and then once I let go I was able to then breath through my mouth without holding my nose shut. He then showed us how to clear our mask out, clear out he regulator, how to handle an out of air situation, find your regulator should you ever lose it from your mouth in two ways. It was so much fun. I did get a little sick feeling by the end of the class and he says that it was probably nerves. He said that once I got comfortable with scuba that would probably go away. He said that I could take something for motion sickness though if I wanted. I think when I take the real class I will take the motion sickness pill so that I am able to enjoy it so much more. If you have ever wanted to try scuba check your local dive shops they probably offer a discover scuba class at a reasonable price. Ours was advertised at 40.00 a person but he gave it to us at no cost because after talking to us he knew we would love it so much that we would join his class. He was right. My hubby is signed up for the next class and next spring I will be signing up for my class.
