How can I improve my scuba diving skills?

Scuba Diving Skills for Mind and Body

In addition to learning some basic physics of diving, and practicing swimming skills, a good scuba instruction course must teach your mind and body to go against a basic innate response. Specifically, you must learn not to hold your breath while ascending, and especially not in an emergency. Thus it is worth taking the time to complete a full scuba certification course rather than a quickie "fast track" class. The additional training and pool practice will enable you to be a better diver and could prove very valuable some day.
