How to get a scuba-diving PADI licence
How I did it: It was a 5 day course, out in the philippines. It was really good.
Basically got taught the things through a big book + DVD thing, it was great. Got to try it out as well, feel how it would feel to run out of air - not nice by the way. Learnt there is a cure to my sea sickness ( god bless medication!)
Lessons & tips: DON'T EVER PANIC. It's all fine, as long as you don't suddenly start freaking out, nothing can really go wrong.
Get a lot of sleep, and if you're seasick, take tablets before going out. Nothing's worse than feeling like you're going to throw up whilst having to clear your mask or perform a CESA.
