Piglet does brave things pt 2

Jordan began SCUBA diving a number of years ago, and ever since she’s begged me to dive with her. I’ve always been interested in doing it but never put the effort into finding a place, etc. Today, I took the plunge, literally. I mean why not make the first dive experience be in the Red Sea??

I signed up to get Open Water Certified, and took my first breaths underwater! Today they gave me a brief overview of the equipment, threw everything on me, and I got to try diving in a pool. The main purpose of this initial attempt is just to make sure I liked it, and to make sure I could physically, emotionally and mentally handle it.

It was pretty weird, and it felt slightly terrifying. I’m sure it will get easier, but I passed the first hurdle. Tomorrow I start with the certification course that will allow me to dive anywhere in the world!! Excited and scared.

Jordan is also doing some dives while here and since it had been over 3 months since she had been in the water, had to do a dive test in the pool as well - hers was to show she was capable and knew how to dive. She passed, obviously. 😃

We both went in at the same time, he worked with me first and then I got out so he could test Jordan. So … no pics of me this time around. But I did snap one of Jordan as she was finishing up! Next time hopefully we’ll get some shots of me.Weiterlesen
