"I wanna tell you something, at a certain point in your life, probably when too much of it has gone by. You will open your eyes, and see yourself for who you are. Especially for everything that made you so different from all the awful normals. And you will say to yourself but I am this person, and in that statement, there will be a kind of love.

don't skive before ur open water dive....

things to prepare before ur open water dive...
1. bring a towel... thiugh its sth some people may not forget to bring... somehow when u least expect it it'll slip outta ur mind, if not ur bag.... (cos mine did...)
2. always have a FULLY CHARGED battery if u're any battery operated item... don't let that slip outta ur mind...
3. mental prep? definately, tell urself u're gonna enjoy urself no matter whoever or watever pukes on/over/undr u...
4. should be prepared with relavent materials of the place u're going; like eg:
- which island u're diving
- which part of the island u'll be diving
- what kinda fish/sea creatures/corals/dangerous creatures(to beware of)
- the natural environment (tides/currents/nature of water)
5. get to know the people u'll be going with... of at least go with some1 u know....
6. last but not least, if u think u mite get sea sick... bring along some sea sickness meds... HOWEVER.... studies have shown sea sickness is actually a condition, meaning its like fear once u've over come the feeling of puking everytime the boat shakes u should be fine... (proven by urs truely =P) well slping only works for a certain times and certain people...

i hope these information has helped u in some way or another.... if u're lucky u mite jus over come some other fears in ur life.... mean time jus chill out and start checking up on ur dive site =p
