Hi there! My name is Natasa and I was afraid of the water! With help from my boyfriend Chris C and awesome instructors, I overcame that fear and now have respect for the water!
In 2002 my boyfriend and I went to a fund raiser to save the carousel in Port Dalhousie. They had a silent auction and Chris Anderson (owner of Active Watersports in Port Dalhousie, may he rest in peace) donated a SCUBA course. Chris C bid on the SCUBA course for ME and we won it! I was terrified of water and it took a few months before I actually went through with it. When we finally went to sign up it was September!
Chris set me up with Joe Adams and Dan Cantwell. as instructors. They were AMAZING! They made me feel so comfortable that my fear of water just melted away =) Joe Adams took me under his wing and got me working at the dive shop. He got me certified all the way up to PADI divemaster. I would have liked ot have gone to instructor level but hey, I never said I was rich! lol Instead, Joe hooked us up with Tyler Bradford and went the other route. TECHNICAL diving! Advanced ntirox and decompression. That brought us to a WHOLE new level of diving enjoyment! There is still so much more to do! Trimix next! =D
