In this episode, Jay and Sarah discuss the top 10 student myths for scuba divers. They address misconceptions such as the belief that paying for certification guarantees expertise, the idea that scuba diving is challenging, scary, and always expensive, and the notion that instructors should always be trusted without question. They also touch on the importance of choosing the right instructor and questioning your dive buddy if necessary. They also cover the importance of experience, the need for communication, the value of ongoing training and refreshers, and the fallacy of relying solely on equipment. They emphasize the importance of being open-minded, adaptable, and constantly learning in order to become better divers.
