Oh, and I'll also chime in twice....
Last March I made my second trip to Cozumel, 20 years after the first. My skills were definitely rusty and the first few days I was first to surface. The last day was a deep dive (105'+) with a number of swim-throughs. I was given the opportunity to pass on these. Talk about primal fears! But I opted to procede. Oh man, what a fantastic dive! Creeping through tight passages, taking the time to really see what corals, fish and others have occupied. Took a couple of scrapes on my scalp as well. Just a wonderful experience, one that helps to laugh back at anxiety. A little anxiety is a good thing...keeps us alert. Too much is simply too much. I do hope you persist at this hobby.
