After the first day of diving I was totally in love with Scuba but the second day of diving made me think again. It was still fairly good visibility but not even close to what it was before. Also during the first dive I got really cold and had to get out because I couldn't stop shivering. When I got back in I was ok for a while then I started to feel sick. I really wanted to push through and finish doing all the skills so I didn't get behind so I stayed in as long as I could. When I started to to feel like I was going to throw up that is when I gave up and got out. We had class during the afternoon so that was my second day. The third day I came prepared. We were told about Seaband which are wristbands that push on the pressure points on your wrists and are suppose to stop you from getting sick. I was a bit skeptical about them but I got them anyway just in case they worked I wouldn't have to cut the dive short. They worked like a charm. No sea sickness at all. Also to fix the getting cold situation...the teacher, Rachel, brought me an extra wetsuit. I tried the first dive on sunday without it and got pretty cold. Once I put the other wetsuit on I was fine for the rest of the day. I think when I buy my own wetsuit I will get a thicker one then the one I was wearing so I don't have to wear 2 every time. Overall I am really happy that we started diving. It is so peaceful down there and very pretty! I can't wait till I take my camera down there and take some pics to post on here. I think we will be diving again the weekend after Labor day since we will be in Lanai over that weekend. I've heard that Lanai has some amazing things to look at diving so maybe we will end up going this weekend also.


Looking forward to more pics! I am putting the one of the two of you underwater into the calendar...
How can you swim in two wet suits? You sould just buy a good one.
Swimming in them wasn't the hard part because all you really have to move to swim are your legs. Getting them on and off was the difficult part. I do plan to buy my own and when I do it will be the thickest ones they have.
