>Anybody have any suggestions on what she could practice in order to get her >confidence up and to move away from her fears? My wife had a problem with cold water on her face while learning to scuba dive. She managed to defeat it by simply hanging out with her mask off in the water. If you could set up a snorkel so that this woman could breath from the air in the kayak and get comfortable upside down it might give her the time she needs to adjust. If she happens to be scuba certified, a buddy bottle or Spare Air might work just as well. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
