Liz and Kyle were absolutely amazing instructors. They explained everything very clearly and made sure to answer all questions along the way. They were super patient, even with the people who were very scared and couldn’t even swim.
I was definitely anxious at first, especially when I felt how heavy the tank was on land. Don’t panic. Once you get in the water, you barely notice it. They take you through the breathing underwater process very slowly, starting just with your face, then your whole body underwater just sitting on the sand. By the time we were ready to go, I was relaxed and prepared.
The dive itself wasn’t very deep and there were only a few pieces of coral and fish to see. We did get to see a little octopus though! And the footage was really fun to watch afterward.
I would definitely try a more interesting dive next time, but I’m so glad I did this experience first to get comfortable with the equipment in a very safe environment.
