1. Dispel the Myths About Diving
We're
sure you've heard it all before -- you'll run out of air, you'll be
eaten by a shark, it's a macho sport. And we call BS on each one of
them. Chances are, these crazy notions have kept you from learning how
to dive. Diving is a simple sport to learn and the beauty and serenity of the marine life is far more relaxing than it is challenging!
