Dive
Away
Fiji
is
the
best!!!
Especially
if
you
are
nervous
about
scuba
diving
like
me!
I
wanted
to
dive,
but
was
actually
terrified
of
doing
it
because
I
had
a
bad
first
experience
in
Australia
a
few
years
ago
where
I
panicked
in
the
first
3
minutes
of
my
first
dive.
I
wasn't
sure
Id
even
manage
to
do
it
again
but
Apo
from
Dive
Away
got
me
restarted
in
a
30
minute
pool
training
at
my
hotel.
This
gave
me
the
courage
to
try
a
real
five
dive
again,
but
I
was
super
nervous.
I
told
Ash,
the
owner,
about
my
past
failure/panic
attack
in
Australia
and
he
was
just
wonderful.
Ash
took
me
and
my
partner
(who
is
annoying
calm
about
being
20
meters
below
the
surface
even
though
he
doesn't
have
gills)
on
a
small
reef
dive
for
40
minutes.
With
the
calm
of
a
consummate
pro
who
has
done
over
5000
dives,
Ash
got
me
through
my
feelings
of
panic
when
they
returned
moments
before
descending.
He
took
me
down
slowly,
at
my
pace,
never
rushing
me,
always
making
sure
I
was
ok
and
feeling
calm
and
in
control.
Ash
literally
held
my
hand
the
entire
way,
checked
my
oxygen,
taught
me
to
breathe
better,
reminded
me
to
equalise,
and
made
me
feel
wonderfully
and
completely
safe.
Thanks
to
him,
I
got
to
swim
along
the
reef
with
amazing
tropical
fish,
reef
sharks
and
sea
turtles.
Thank
you
Ash,
Apo
and
Dive
Fiji!!
I
could
not
recommend
you
more
highly.
You
guys
looked
after
me
with
so
much
care.
I
never
could
have
beaten
my
fear
of
being
down
there
without
you.
