diving

If you are on the fence about learning to dive but perhaps fearful about being underwater, or are generally curious about the hobby/sport, feel free to ask questions in this channel! As a PADI instructor and AIDA freediver, I'll be happy to help

mostly scared by the feeling that im under water & cannot reach bottom (e.g. in a pool that's deeper than my own height) & if anything happens i cannot stand up, reach bottom & save myself. not sure if it fell w/ claustrophobia?

How would you characterize your fear of being underwater? Is it claustrophobia? Does it manifest itself when you’re in a pool and duck under water?
