The open water session is another round of drills etc except it is conducted in the sea. Have fun!!!!! Tip: For beginners, try to avoid self-clearing masks. Otherwise, you will find yourself unable to pinch your nose to equalize your ears. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karoon Turbocharged January 26, 2011 Share January 26, 2011 just a reminder there was a report few years back of a few senior citizens (in japan or korea?) who died while practising diving in a shallow pool. If I recall the report said they didn't breathe out while pushing up to the pool surface. The injury to their lungs was too much for their age. so don't forget to always breathe out.

Bladerunner 1st Gear January 26, 2011 Share January 26, 2011 Hmm.. 2 pool lessons, seems too little... maybe times had change, if i remember correctly, I had class theory lesson, pool lessons before trying out in the open water. Why not you check around with other dive schools and compare, remember $$$ can earn back, life cannot. Safety are paramount in diving, so if you're aren't 100% comfortable with one particular school there are many more around. Cheers! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
