We don't need no stinkin' C-cards (well, at least I didn't before 1969).Mine dives, he just refuses to get his C-card.

I've had a number of those uh 'bad experiences under water that your wife is afraid of'...Being underwater is what gets her. Close call as a kid and just can't get by it. I finally got her to snorkle at Turks & Cacios which she LOVED! One step at a time I guess.

She won't admit it to me, but I think she is a little claustrophobic, so why push her into an environment where she would be uncomfortable?

I too am very claustraphobic - you'll rarely see me do a swim through for that very reason - I swim over the top and follow the bubbles!! That seems to work for me.............well, there was that one time in Coz where I joined up with another group of bubbles.............at least they were SD.com bubbles!!!She won't admit it to me, but I think she is a little claustrophobic, so why push her into an environment where she would be uncomfortable?
I'm very claustraphobic....trick is to not let the water come up over you but rather put your head into it first...get comfortable and then start to descend.
In fact there are a number of techniques you can use to over come claustrophobia. Sometimes it just helps to know that others have the same worries and issues and its fairly common.

Um, are you talking about diving or sex?My wife I tried it a couple times, on our honeymoon and on a cruise. As far as I can tell she just is not into it.
