Don't be afraid to speak up!

Posted by Cathy on September 30, 1999 at 23:23:37: Know your limits and don't be afraid to speak up when asked about how far you want to go when diving with a group. Once the dive master asked if everyone on the boat wanted to dive thru some coral caverns to get to a deeper level. He said there were some pretty tight areas and that it descended for about 40 ft. I didn't want to say that I didn't like closed in areas, because I didn't want to ruin the dive for the rest of the people, but my husband raised my hand for me. Instead we dove down to 135ft. and then went up through a chimney to 80 ft. The chimney was larger than the other tunnels. Everyone still had a good time and I didn't risk freaking out in the tunnel!
