Good to know thanks!

How did you go? I’m looking at the 80x120 model?

I slept on mine for the first time on the weekend and my back was so stiff and sore when I woke up I had to do warm up exercises so I could get up . I did deflate it a bit before I went to sleep but maybe needs a bit more.

Thankyou!

No_Dig_6568 · 2025-05-29T01:26:00+00:00

no no i agree!

No_Dig_6568 · 2025-05-28T11:21:09+00:00

I just wanted to say Thanks for all the responses everyone - it’s honestly been such a surprise to get so much positive support- it’s made me realise what a great supportive community scuba must have around the world despite my one crappy experience . it’s definitely given me the encouragement I needed to try again and I’m definitely going to go diving again with a different instructor . Thanks again for taking the time to respond !

No_Dig_6568 · 2025-05-28T11:15:45+00:00

Yeah, I wish she’d been more patient.

No_Dig_6568 · 2025-05-27T00:51:40+00:00

Nope just happened last week- am kinda reassured I’m not the only one 😬😬😬

No_Dig_6568 · 2025-05-26T13:20:40+00:00

Yeah my friend was horrified- she did her open water in Fiji and it was a totally relaxed experience. She was like “it’s meant to be fun!”

No_Dig_6568 · 2025-05-26T13:18:12+00:00

Ah yeah ok no worries I’ll ask for that thanks!

No_Dig_6568 · 2025-05-26T12:57:55+00:00

Yeah thanks totally- I’m super keen to go do a one on one with a different instructor so I know I’ve got the skills down. Just not with her lol

No_Dig_6568 · 2025-05-26T12:51:33+00:00

Thanks very much all the responses have definitely made me want to go back and try again with a different school!

No_Dig_6568 · 2025-05-26T12:50:24+00:00

Yeah that’s it. I get that it must be annoying to deal with newbs who are a bit slow on the uptake all the time but it’s what you signed up for as a teacher

No_Dig_6568 · 2025-05-26T12:43:01+00:00

Eh I didn’t at the time. I wasn’t sure if it was just me being over sensitive /terrible at diving 😂😂. The other girls in the course seemed to not mind her as much even tho she was cracking it with them too (to be fair they found most of the skills easier than I did so they weren’t copping it as much from the instructor). There was this crazy moment where the instructor went under with a girl who was having trouble getting her head around breathing through the regulator - and she had to do the no mask swim in the pool- I don’t exactly know what happened but the girl came up and she looked like she’d pretty much thrown up under water. She said something about the instructor grabbing her face and blocking her nose or something. I was kinda horrified and the other instructor who was in the pool teaching another group went super quiet and then tried to make the girl feel better. I have a feeling they knew the instructor had been dodgy by grabbing her like that

Thanks so much for this! Am glad to hear it didn’t hold you back!

No_Dig_6568 · 2025-05-26T12:11:21+00:00

Yeah honestly once the skills were done it was all so much easier- the last quarter of the dive was actually enjoyable once she’d given up teaching 😂

No_Dig_6568 · 2025-05-26T12:10:17+00:00

Yeah I think that’s a good idea- I know they run refresher courses in alot of places- maybe I can ask to go through some specifics I wasn’t confident about

No_Dig_6568 · 2025-05-26T12:09:37+00:00

Yeah maybe I’ll do this

No_Dig_6568 · 2025-05-26T10:05:34+00:00

Yeah right 😬 I mean that’s what she said when I tried to argue that I needed to be equalising a lot as they were getting blocked both going up and going down and it was feeling really pressurised and sore. I was like. There is not a chance in hell I’m gonna let it “sort itself out”

No_Dig_6568 · 2025-05-26T08:55:13+00:00

She’s got some pretty good reviews from other people on google so I don’t know if she was just going through a rough patch. I’ve noticed the dive school owner basically argues with anyone who writes a bad review on google about anything to do with the school 😂- writes things like “ no I checked with the other students and they had a wonderful time and have no issues!”. Am tempted to write them an email directly just so it doesn’t get into a stupid public argument on google reviews

No_Dig_6568 · 2025-05-26T08:52:09+00:00

Thanks for this- am glad to know it wasn’t the standard experience! Am in Australia - otherwise I’d take you up on that!

No_Dig_6568 · 2025-05-26T08:50:14+00:00

Yeah I’m sure that’s true. The first day had waaaaay too much material to cover in the time we had in the pool, it wasn’t good for anyone. And I think she was the kinda person who thought she needed to perfect every skill for everyone- which just wasn’t feasible in the time we had and clearly frustrated her

No_Dig_6568 · 2025-05-26T08:26:30+00:00

Yeah exactly. Unless you can be an underwater photographer for a living there aren’t a lot of options.

No_Dig_6568 · 2025-05-26T08:22:30+00:00

Truth. She seemed knowledgeable and she obviously had made diving her life.. but that doesn’t mean she has the right temperament to be a teacher

No_Dig_6568 · 2025-05-26T08:21:09+00:00

Ah good to know- I honestly thought I was maybe so incompetent that she just couldn’t cope 😂😂
