I found your blog in the net & I really like it & I like what you are doing…
I´m a traveler & diver by my self.

This post here makes me wonder a bit… because ,
It´s not possible to get a PADI Open Water certification if you can´t swim.

Did you know that it is a obligatory standard for a PADI Open Water certification that the student has to complete a 200 metre/yard continuous surface swim or a 300 metre/yard, without using any swim aids.???

And do you know about a distinctive specialty dive course
named No Fear Diving ??? It´s a PADI dive course for expressly created for anxious people..

It’s surprising simply because I use to have a web site that practically had an identical website url. Mine was only a few letters different. Anyhow, I’m a big fan of your weblog and if you at any time want a guest write-up make sure you email me personally. I absolutely adore writing!

@Kevin: I’m so glad you found out about it. I had such a fantastic experience (fear & all) and it’s gotten me excited about diving more. I’ll definitely give you a shout if I come back to Ko Tao for more diving! Best of luck and thank you for being a patient instructor. =-)

@Mandy: I know what you mean by it being a spontaneous decision. If I think about something too much, I’ll find a way to talk myself out of it. If I’m just pushed in and forced to do it, I end up hurdling that fear. Good luck. If you want it, someday you’ll make it happen.

I always consider myself a brave girl but when come to water – a big NO NO! I even pulled out last minute while everyone enjoying snorkeling, what a shame! 🙂
Recently I caught up with a long-lost friend whose profession being diving instructor, her words instilled encouragement. Though the fear is yet to overcome, but now I would imagine diving underwater and swim with the fishes. If I ever go for a diving certification, it must be a spontaneous and without-much-thought kinda decision. 😀

Firstly I would like to thank you for the very nice comment that you left on our website. Much appreciated! Our dive shop manager was contacted by the PADI regional manager yesterday and was informed that your article was posted on the PADI website so thanks again. Reading the article myself has made me remember why I decided to become an instructor. I hope you have conquered the fear and kept on diving. Please send me a mail if you ever decide to come back this way.
Kev (Your PADI Instructor)

@Laura: Thanks. I saw reef and fishes and stuff, but I think everything was just blown away with being underwater and so deep. Like one large aquarium tank that’s endless. I can see how it would feel claustrophobic in the suit, but the surroundings are the positive leverage against that. Hopefully you and Jose get to do that together sometime, especially as I imagine the water in Mexico must present some good sightseeing… if not, there’s always snorkeling.

I’ve always wanted to try diving, but I get claustrophobic underwater. Did you see any cool stuff down there?

@Andrea: I have no doubt you both will eventually get to this! 😉
