Another occasion when I felt I need the help of a psychiatrist took place last week. I was doing my diving course in Hurghada. I don’t feel very comfortable with water, deep water, dark water, looking into water etc. I have some certain respect towards this liquid. The overcome-my-fear process finally started with my first attempts to snorkel around 6 months ago. I managed with huge amount of adrenaline in blood, water in lungs and heartbeats on its maximum. The world looks different down there and the curiosity grew. Soon scuba diving seemed the next logical step.
And there I was, six days ago, after 3 dives in two days, shivering on the boat and my mind 120% against going under water for the last dive.
I have another chance this week. We’ll see how it goes. But I guess I don’t have an option then to pass the course.

You can do it! I know you can.
And believe me, once you're down there, it's so worth it. And maybe you won't believe this, but diving is actually easier than snorkeling!
Let me know how it goes!
Hei piiga!
Tead, sinu sukeldusmislugu on loomulikult südantlõhestav, aga ma pean juba ette vabandama - sa saad hakkama, nii et ma üldse ei üritagi sinu motivatsiooni siin üles peksta. I have all the faith in you (ja noh, kui ka mitte, siis sukeldumine äkki lihtsalt ei ole sinu jaoks:P)
Selle asemel mul hoopis täiesti omakasupüüdlik küsimus - kas sinu pakkumine, millest Denissi kaudu kuulsin, on endiselt jõus ja oled valmis ühe algaja Egiptuse turisti mõneks päevaks oma valdustesse majutama? IPM lõpeb minu mäletamist mööda 27.02, olen Egiptimaal kuni 03.03 ööni, st peaksin lennujaama kobima ilmselt juba 2.03 õhtul.
Igatahes, armas Liisi, me veel näeme, votmis!
Thanks Sherif! I know it is so much worth it, had 5 dives this weekend and every time it got better. I almost own the licence now :)
To Marjam: omakasupüüdlikud küsimused on täiesti ok. Kindlasti oled Denissiga teretulnud. Ükskõik kus ma siis elan ja kui palju ruumi mul on. Kaasmaalast ja häid sõpru aitan alati!
As a begginer with your good boyancy control and steady movement, you did great. The more you dive the more fun it becomes and the things that worry you will become automatic.. it's like driving. You're scared, sweaty and 120% concentration in shifting greas and handling the wheel but with time you just don't think about it anymore. The Canyon's dive in Dahab is a very demanding dive, you did great with canyon penetration and going to an over 30M depth. Next time we do The Bells and Blue hole.
Nii Lipsu!
nõu-anded sukeldumiseks!
Hirm on tunne, ebamugavustunne, mis möödub kui su alateadvus on veendunud, et asi pole hirmu väärt
Kui hirm hakkab üle ääre ajama, siis aitab 2 asja:
1. keskendu hingamisele ja tee megarahulikke liigutusi
2. räägi iseendaga (kui koju tuled siis õpetan kuidas;))
Tee ära kui juba alustasid, kui külla tulen, siis läheme koos koralle avastama:)
Margus
Aitäh kallis venna :)
