13 October 2007,
This Pulau AUR. First thing in the morning, we had our first dive at 0805 at Pulau Lang, for 22 mins @ the max dept of 9m and we surfaced for our breakfast at Aur diver lodge. This is my first dive, of course intially was quite nervous when i was about to jump, but after the first step, i'm loving it. It's cool and relax. and there we go ascending. For this dive, we learnt to clear mask, my first time clearing is a mess but my second try was perfect. :) Then need to drop our regulator and pick that up again. Our second training dive at the Pulau Aur house Reef at 10m something. The place where we saw this medium size turtle swimming across. This time deeper and with one intervals and about 30 somthing minutes we surfaced for lunch ard 11. Learning experience for the second dive was to use the underwater compass and the SESAR thing which i hate. anyway.. after lunch and our third dive at Telok Jawa for abt 57 minutes with the max dept of 19m. All underwater temp at 29 degree celcius.
14 October,
we had our we 2 experience dives and we are improving. I can control my movement better, playing around with fishes and corals. There is this fish that came straight to my mask and bang on to me. lol... it's fun. Lobster hiding in the caves, nemo swimming around the corals. and this christmas tree like fishes, and many many other interesting underwater moments. too bad i don't have a underwater camera, if not i think i would have taken thousands of pics in my 2 experience dives.
I had my theory exams onboard and finally passed, I am now a certified diver who can although dive max 20 metres underwater. But I'm lovng forward to my next dive and yes i'm loving it.
~ Life is so wonderful... we just need to eat,dive,sleep and eat, dive sleep....
