Big Joe Scuba

In one evening of Discover Scuba class, instructors DJ and Steve helped me overcome my fears and anxiety of scuba.
My husband and I received a groupon for Christmas, but we both were a little anxious about trying scuba. I finally called to reserve our spots in a Discover Scuba class. I had done one other «discover» type class while on a cruise and it was a terrible experience. But it was my husband’s first experience.
The class is held at the YMCA. The pool was pretty busy which made it a little distracting and hard to hear at times. They got us fitted for our gear, gave us an overview of equipment and basics. Then we learned two skills in the shallow end of the pool before moving deeper.
I was super anxious at first and actually wanted to quit after a few tries. But both DJ and Steve were calm and patient. They helped me feel comfortable and encouraged me to keep going.
I ended up really enjoying the experience. We got to spend about an hour in the water. My husband did better than me, he learned the skills quickly and comfortable immediately.
Now we both want to go back and do our Open Water Certification. I highly recommend Big Joe Scuba and am so thankful they moved me from fearful to eager for more.
