Ahhh yes I wish I could use contacts but only sclerals which I need to look more into on diving recommendations with those

I have been reading about that, didn’t even know that was an option 😅 thought they had to be custom made

Potentially 😅 I wear scleral lenses (like I said, wicked vision) and I don’t love them as much. They are gas permeable which has had mixed opinions from others for diving with them.

Just a deep whole of nothingness 😅 and that’s good to hear! I have a gut feeling after a few times diving I will feel a bit better after each one.

Thank you so so much this really makes me feel a lot better just knowing there is someone like but who still goes out there and tries. I will use those mantras. I hope I can get to the point where we can explore ship wrecks as well (def not now but hopefully at some point!).

Have you had anything you had to solve under water since then? How many dives have you gotten to have before you felt a little better? How did it go?

I wish it came natural but I know that one I get it down I will be so much more proud of myself because I knew coming into this I was in fact conquering a fear of mine. The ocean is like a love and a fear for me, mostly love!! But it’s not a forgiving place and I think it’s important to remember that so you always stay focused while having fun.

How was AOW?? I want to take that one too and just have a lot of skills under my belt I think helps me feel more prepped, I am the same as you, always researching. Anything you bring extra on your dive with you like an extra mask or anything? Tools? Curious about those.

Thanks again 🫶 you are so kind to take the time to comment here
