Some
Hard Truths About Diving
Before everything begins to sound too
perfect, walk with open eyes about diving
and being a diver:
1.
You'll have dive experience you don't
like. Count on it. The conditions will
not be good, you won't like the boat,
you'll choose a buddy you don't like,
you won't like the area ,you're visiting,
or you'll find you don't like the particular
activity you're trying. But guess what:
If' you play golf, you'll slice the
ball off the course. If you ride horses,
one will step on your foot. If you ski,
you'll fling yourself face first into
a snow bank. If you play chess, some
whiz kid will checkmate you in 12 moves.
Everything
worth doing has its less-than-love-it
moments. Don't let a bad day of diving
ruin diving for you. Learn from it and
do it differently next time. Pursue
what you want out of diving and progress
in diving at your rate, and you'll have
many, many great dive memories for each
one you'd rather forget.
