Understanding the Difficulty of Underwater Skills 🫣

[@lourdesgetino504]

I did my Open Water a loooong time ago, so i’m really doing an effort to remember… Let’s see… for me, the most difficult skill was bouyancy; took me a while to control it… also, THE MASK!! Now I remember… i was so afraid of taking it off because i felt that i couldn’t breathe 😮 !!! so I had to do a lot of self control work. Finally with practice, patience and self control i did it!!! And now i’m a PADI instructor ❤. Love you guys!

Do you wear wetsuit and dive gloves and dive hood and dive boots and dive fins and dive mask and scuba tank and bcd and regulator to breath from and breath underwater with scuba regulator

[@PADI]

Hi there, thank you for your comment. This may depend on where someone is diving. Not all locations require a wetsuit, gloves, hoods, boots, etc. However, all divers will have fins, a mask, a scuba tank, a bcd, and a regulator to breathe underwater. 😎
