I'm getting my Open Water certification next month and wondering if anyone on here dives? If so, any tips for a new diver? Thanks
I got that a few years ago but I haven't dove in a good good while. Tips? Don't forget while going deeper, after pressurizing your ears, to exhale occasionally from your nose otherwise you'll have a ring around your face from your mask. Never never never never wave to say "okay" after jumping in the water. Don't carry to much extra weight? I dunno anymore really. It's a blast though to dive! Where are your four open water dives for certification going to be? I had mine at Duck Key in Florida. Two dives at 30ft, one was a sunken barge. One at 60ft and one more at 120ft at the Thunderbolt. It's a sunken mine sweeper. Very spooky-like but it was fun!
My dives will be in some local lakes(south carolina) Im really exited.. Clemson has a Scuba club so i will have some people (and gear) to dive with up here. Thanks for your advice!!
