Me and my wife are going to start pool lesson for PADI open water cert. in three weeks. Will go to Maui in May for the open water dive exam if everything goes well. However, I worrying about the required 200M swimming and 10 min water treading. We can swim, but only 50 M at a time w/o rest. Perhaps, we should start our intense swimming training ASAP :cry:.

You do it with your fins and wetsuit on, so it's easy and you're buoyant. Swimming in the ocean against currents is another story. You need to be in shape or you will burn through your gas quick, and you can barf from exhaustion. Haha. Not to scare you

My 12 yr old son and I got certified 2 years ago and we go scuba diving on our yearly trip to Aruba (going again the end of this month!). It's a really nice bonding experience, especially since I am now starting him on the addiction of reef aquariums (his jbj 28 just finished cycling :clap2
