I think you know the answer to that. ;) I'm so proud of you for getting in there and getting over the fear. Isn't it amazing? I'm glad you're hooked! Scuba? Me?

Hopefully you went back to the dive master's house for some real fun after your scuba lesson.

I miss it terribly. If you want to persist with it, there is some spectacular scuba diving in Puget Sound, the San Juans, and the Gulf Islands between you in Seattle and us in Vancouver. You need a thicker wetsuit or a drysuit because the water is cold, but the life you see is quite amazing.

It is indeed a less than natural response to breath while under water. that is the root of most SCUBA fear. The second is the closed in feeling that the mask puts on your sight lives. I an glad you overcame and enjoyed your experience. Karl Welcome to the wonderful world of SCUBA!

I snorkled for the first time in Hawaii at a reef off the coast of Napoli on Kauai -- it was awesome after you get used to it. I tried it again in Cozumel and it was still very exciting. I watched the movie "Open Water" and swore I would never scuba.... well maybe never.... Sounds like you're having a good time, albeit alone it seems.
