i have always loved the ocean. was never afraid of it till the age of 19 or so. a few close calls w/some sharks while i was in the water stored some fear in me. although panic attacks have set in while i have Been snorkeling at just a minimal 3ft or so, i want to learn to scuBa dive. sounds crazy im sure, But this is something that i want/need to do. the water relaxes me, although i carry a fear that my death awaits me at sea.
hugs
comBating fear!

Good luck
I know what you mean. I love the ocean but I have a fear of it at the same time (even without any close enounters with sharks). It may sound strange, but I actually feel more comfortable at 100ft with SCUBA gear than at the surface with just a snorkel in water that I can’t touch the bottom of. One of my friends that also dives is the same way, she loves diving but doesn’t like snorkeling. My point is, don’t let fear or panic that you feel when snorkeling keep you from trying to go diving. It is so worth it!! Have fun!
