| Or you simply love to scuba dive? |
More and more people are developing
an urge to explore environment reserved just a few decades ago for a
very few explorers and rich adventurers...
And this fantastic activity is becoming available to most of us.
Yet, there are some people who simply hate the idea of being submerged bellow the surface.
What are basic reasons to say “Yes, yes, I want to dive!!!”
And basic reasons to say “No, thank you.”
And this fantastic activity is becoming available to most of us.
Yet, there are some people who simply hate the idea of being submerged bellow the surface.
What are basic reasons to say “Yes, yes, I want to dive!!!”
And basic reasons to say “No, thank you.”
a) you love water, independence, levitation, new dimensions, freedom
b) you want that feeling of pure pleasure when gliding through
blue
c) you have to follow your partner
d) you want to impress yourself by impressing others
Out there, there is a huge group of people who would choose a and b
as the answer. They are just waiting for the opportunity to try,
start with scuba diving. And our role, as scuba instructors, is to
lead them on this path safely, with knowledge, patience, humor...
I am willing to do my really best to show you the wonders of this new dimension... patiently, slowly, at your own pace...
However, through the last years, more and more people who definitely belong into the groups c or d are somehow unable to say “No, thank you!”. Of course it takes some personal courage to decline something your peers are pushing you into. But amount of courage to decline something you don't like is not so high. A minimum of self confidence and a real minimum of courage would be enough.
For whatever reason, those basic qualities are more and more reduced to nonexistence.
In way too many cases.
I couldn't care less if you can not say “No.” to offered foul smelling, foul looking but very healthy vegetable smoothie...:)
However, when it comes to scuba diving and I see you are scared shitless when trying to get bellow the surface – and I figure out the reasons you decided for this activity are deadly wrong – then I become slightly pissed off...
A really serious plea.
If you are a seasoned diver looking for some more dives, or you would just love to learn to dive, or you simply enjoy in magic of diving, or you want to upgrade your skills, even if you are a touch nervous when starting...; you are more than welcome.
However, if you shrink just at the thought of being submerged into the water, you simply say “No, thank you”.
