In March, I went to Phuket Island to learn to dive / diving with my friends. After (the) training in the pool on the first day, we were headed out to the real sea / we headed for the sea. With After a 5 hour- trip on the boat, we arrived at the diving spot near the Raya island. The scenery was breathtaking, you could even see the colorful fishes in at a 2-meter depth under the sea. Quickly putting on the diving equipment and the suit, I was eager to jump into the water. Everything went smoothly, I floated on the sea for a while, and then started to dive inch by inch. Later, my ears began buzzing, although feeling uncomfortable, I decided to ignore it and continue getting (going) deeper, for it is normal because of the pressure under the sea.

When landing on the sea floor, we began practising basic skills and mocking preparing for dangerous situations. One practice was taking off the goggles, cleaning it and putting them on again. That’s scary for me because without goggles means your nose is not protected is out of protection. If you accidentally breathe with your nose, you will inhale or choke on water into it, which is painful. So I was supposed to breathe with my mouth under water. During my practice before, I always held my breath while doing these sequential actions. However, with the uncomfortable ears, I was extremely scared and began shaking when taking off the goggles. As expected, out of instinct, I breathed with my nose, and I choked with water. The sudden pain triggered me to flee from the sea, so without adieu (hesitation), I kept kicking my legs and diving up. But the coach dragged my panicked feet and pointed to the place above my head. There was a boat about to leave with the propellers spinning fast. I was too shocked to move, so the coach used his body language to tell me telling me to calm down and get back to the sea floor. After we got back on the boat, the coach said with a very serious tone, told me that I should never ever diving dive up without checking the environment, and I could be dead if he hadn’t dragged me.

In the following 2 days, although I overcame the difficulties and get got my diving certificate, I still do not dare to dive without assistance.
