I am going on vacation next year and have been looking into scuba diving.  Found out that its underwater diving that uses a breathing apparatus to breathe underwater.  Not too sure if I want to or not.
I think scuba diving is so fun! It is a magical experience.
Oh good, so you know more about it than me.  I know that you carry your own compressed air breathing gas to have free movement in the water but I'm worried about getting anxious under the water.
I got pretty anxious when I went. I felt like I was suffocating every time I went under, but after attempting it numerous times, I was able to calm down and go.
I am looking into take multiple classes until I feel better about it but nothing matches the point where you have a shark swim by and you hyperventilate. ha ha. They also offer surface-supplied diving with the breathing gas on the boat but that doesn't seem much better or maybe worse.
