If you are keen to have a go then do, it you wont regret it. I dived for 20 years and instructed for a lot of that time and have taught people from the cautious such as yourself to the dangerously over confident. If your instructor is good they will listen to your concerns and adapt the training to suit your needs. Basically start off by just having your face in the water breathing from the regulator, progressing to kneeling in the shallow end and so on. Have faith in your instructor and enjoy it. I have ever only know and handful of people who didn't get hooked. Just make sure your instructor knows exactly how you feel. Regards Allan R |
