I appreciate all the replies.

I read them all and decided to go and do my checkout dives...but it was too late. They had already filled my spot on the boat...so they told me they wouldn't be able to fit me in...

In order to schedule me back in...they want to charge me an additional $150 as they're telling me they'll have to put me into another class...even though I just need to do the check out dives.

I take it as a sign...it's all good and I can't do everything I want. I have a list of hobbies - believe me I do and my wife will agree: guitar, reef tanks, 3rd language, car modding, etc... the list goes on and on. Scuba was going to be added on, but I take this as a sign to go with my gut feeling. I didn't feel comfy the first time...I don't want to spend another $150 to realize I didn't like it the first time.

Thanks guys.

I'm now off to sell my equipment lol. The store doesn't do returns so I'm screwed.

If anyone wants any of the following...hit me up:

Oceanic Shadow Mask (Black)
Oceanic V8 Split fins (Blue) M/L
Walmart Snorkel
Weight belt with 18 pounds of soft weights

Thanks everyone!
