My first pool session for diving
Was a physically very tiring day cos I met felicia early in the morning to go to the gym. First time hitting the company's gym! It's free access so no complains =)
Come evening was the first pool session for my open water course! OMG, i was so scared! Didn't know diving is so scary... Cos u haf to breathe thru ur mouth and I'm so used to breathing thru my nose so I panicked when I submerged under water =(
It doesn't help tt I've got a tiny hole in my ear drums n i'm really afraid tt the i can't equalise and go deaf =P Well anw, I was told tt the pool is too shallow for the need to equalise.
Another thing is tt communication is a prob underwater!!! U can at most communicate with the limited hand signs and anything more wld test the mutual understanding between u and ur buddy! Apparently stacy isn't so understanding towards me =P but I cld quite understand the stuff she tried to signal to me!
Lastly, I felt really uncomfortable when I suddenly surface to the top from the bottom of the pool. Yeap heard tt if u do tt too quickly, ur lungs will burst n u will DIE!!! Eeek so scary =(
Well well well, guess I'll haf to polish my skills more and brave myself up in the nx pool session in preparation for the real dive!
