Hi Alex,

This is one of the best and most enjoyable blogs I’ve read in a while about learning to dive. I love your humor! You had me snort out loud more than once. Thanks for addressing very relevant ‘diving myths’ with your unrefutable logic.

In reply to Paige Wunder. I totally get it! There's a lot to be intimidated by in the ocean but I'm glad to hear you are entertaining the idea of trying diving anyway! I'm biased no doubt, but in my mind the reward is more than worth the challenge. Good luck!

In reply to Chris. Glad to hear diving has had such a positive impact on your travels! It certainly has for me as well. I might not dive every day, but some of my greatest adventures have been underwater!

It’s really refreshing to hear a diver say that they are intimidated by sharks. I really appreciate your candid nature (as always) and it’s nice to hear you say that you shouldn’t stay out of the water for whatever reason in a helpful way instead of a demeaning way.

I have a mega-fear of sharks that just sort-of crept up on me. One year I was swimming in the ocean with my family and the next year I was snorkeling with manatees solo and I just totally freaked out and have had the phobia since… I’m always enamored by photos of diving – including yours – and I actually feel really calm about it after reading your post.

I was in Koh Tao last year, toying with the idea of getting certified, but chickened out. Plus, I had what I thought was an awful respiratory infection, turns out I have asthma. It’s pretty mild though and I know other asthmatic divers. I’m headed back to Thailand in September and I’m hoping I might be able to work up the courage to give it a go. Thanks for your words of encouragement! Xx
