My scariest dive moment is actually pretty stupid on my part, but I can’t help but think it has happened to others as well. I was diving in all totally new gear, none of it had ben dived in before, that combined with the fact that I’m still a very new diver, brought this incident on. We were down about 35 feet, I was really having issues with my bouyancy, I was fighting my new BC (Zeagle Ranger LTD) and again, being a new diver I was bound to have some difficulities with bouyancy, especially with all that new gear that I wasn’t familiar with. Anyway, I was really having a hard time with bouyancy, when I suddenly started to rise, I somewhat panicked and when I tried to let air out of my BC I hit the wrong button, and actually added air, causing my ascent to increase in speed, thats when I really panicked. Once I surfaced I had to calm myself down, my dive buddy asked what had happened, I told him, and he could see that I was a bit nervy from the experience. He helped calm me down, and after a few minutes we decended again, back down to about 35 feet, after that my bouyancy issues improved dramatically, and the rest of the dive went well.
