How to become a certified scuba diver
It made me
relax
 "It's amazing!"
How I did it: There was about a week of private study followed by 3 days of classroom and practical study. I think this is a good thing to learn this summer or whenever you have a long weekend. When you go under you becoming a part of an exciting new world stimulates your senses. It's a good stress reliever. It's also a good way to meet new people. Lessons & tips: Be safe and remember to have fun. |

It made me

How I did it: I've always wanted to go scuba diving but never did it because I did not know how to swim. In 2007 my boyfriend and I booked a trip to Cozumel and the Yucatan. While doing our research we found out that Cozumel was one of the best places to go scuba diving. So we thought why not get certified and go diving at Cozumel. So we just decided to sign up at Sports Challet to get certified. Since I'm not a swimmer I went 3-4 times a week at my gy… Read how I did it…

Living in the Bahamas I figure I owe it to myself. I called the local dive shop yesterday to get some details and see how I can work it around my schedule. For me it should take two weekends.
I'm so excited!!!!

I think this goal is connected to my goal of travelling to Cambodia. When we’re over there, I really want to learn how to dive. I don’t think that I want to learn it in Norway, the sea is way to dark for my taste, that creeps me out.

I’ve gone diving in Monterey and Hawaii—not a lot of diving. Scuba diving is one of those things that is sort of like extra-terrestrial exploration. It is just different from being in the air, on land or in the sky.
I find it easier and more fun to simply snorkel. Then you can’t run out of air, or go too deep and get nitrogen sick.

Diving s one of the most rewarding things that I have ever done. I started diving when I was 15 and have been diving every since. Get quality training and keep your skills current.
Dive, dive, dive, dive, dive, dive, dive, dive, dive, dive, dive, dive, dive, dive, dive, dive, dive, dive, dive, dive, dive, dive, dive, dive, dive, dive, dive, dive, dive, dive, dive, dive, dive!
Really worth doing!

On my “life goal” list, got certified open water. It’s not scary, it’s one of the best things I’ve ever done. As soon as you are under the water, all the commotion on the surface ceases, and you are in a new world. Got to swim around some sea turtles – go do it!
Started the process

This weekend I began the process to become certified. Between lecture and pool time it took up the whole weekend but it was very enjoyable.
