Rethinking
Join Traci for the final jaunt of her certification series as she embarks on the in-water portion of her course. She recounts the pool session and overcoming her fear of trusting the equipment as well as her certification dives at a local lake. While throughout this portion of her certification experience is again not easy for her to conquer she does it!
Overthinking
In Traci’s third part of her journey to becoming an open water diver, she recounts going through her eLearning course. She also recalls getting fitted for gear for the first time and the joys of trying on wetsuits.
Not Thinking
In the next part of her series about her journey into scuba diving Traci recounts her experience of actually signing up for her Open Water Course. As you might remember scuba diving was an anxiety-driven activity for her making the choice to actually enroll in her course was fast and swift. This is because she had to not think about it and just go for it.
What Was I Thinking?
What made you take the leap into scuba diving? Did you talk yourself out of it many times before you actually went for it? The thought of the unknown can be downright scary but the regret of never trying might heavily outweigh it.
