Hobby mentioned (indirectly) – “coping with the issue” and I find that very true. I think it is has to come from two avenues. I would like to get to get to the bottom of this because I don’t want to see my self or any one else in that situation. The two avenues are > physical and >physiological training.
The physical part done by keeping diving and build up the experience. As you are doing this I think that the mental part is being set in slowly.
The mental part can be more complicated to explain. What I found out (correct me if I’m wrong) is to teach the brain and actually convince yourself that: the seabed is your environment. You also have to convince yourself that there are no problems and with your ability will be able to handle different tasks while under the water. This can only be achieved by the frequent diving. Looking at both Bren’s and my experiences, the concerns started when I taught that I’m going to stay there. Bren taught that he’s getting swallowed down the open blue. In both our minds it was the depth or better pictured as the distance between the surface and us. OK, so if we had trained the brain that being down there is “OK” even a few extra minutes in my case, or with Bren’s even if he goes down the drop. I know that we can manage and solve most problems under the water and if we had this persuasion in our minds this probably wouldn’t have happened.
Am I making sense here? I need some more input and experiences to clarify the origin of this issue, so others will know ahead of time how to react. I got to ask your opinion Do you think that this is contagious. What I mean is can some one how comes to the rescue, starts panicking as well?
I think that the more we explain on this then we can understand it better and be able to overcome this problem.
Thanks
