Charlotte Archer - Try Dive

I enjoyed the Try Dive. The theory was interesting and informative. Trying to turn the theory into practical skills seemed to be a bit beyond me at times though. Although you were very patient with me I still felt like such a complete wally for failing to remember things as soon as my head was underwater and for forgetting to breath when there was water in my mask. By far the best part of the whole experience for me was when we got to swim in the deeper part of the pool. Suddenly feeling like I was gliding around, I was exhilarated to be free to move about with my eyes open and without surfacing. Surely there cannot be many experiences more magical than this. My hope now is that I will become so accustomed to the scuba equipment that I can maintain that sense of calm even while concentrating on the skills!
