Eye-opening experience

I didn't know what I was getting myself into when I found this project. Before this, I was with a different company known as GVI which very quickly shut down at the start of July this year with not much context or any time for me to fix my place. Projects Abroad and this experience in Spain was so relaxing and breathtaking that I don't think anything else can compete with it. Overall it was incredible, but I believe if you want to get involved in something like this, do your research beforehand.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
I was overly confident about the diving when I first joined and that quickly bit back when I found out how challenging it was. Not just physically but mentally too. I had to form different breathing techniques, carry heavy equipment back and forth, learn different hand signals, do tasks that I was uncomfortable doing but it never stopped me, I never gave up. No matter what you do, do not let the anxiety in you, take over what you love and enjoy. Fulfill your dreams and take the risks in life, because you never know when you will have the opportunity next. Fear is just a figment of your imagination, don't let it swallow you. Thankyou to the diving instructors that never gave up on me.
