Loved my first open water dive
Our first open water dive was amazing!!! Now I know what it feels like to be a fish :)
Well, it was slightly scary at first, going down the dark, unfamiliar mass of water but once we reached the seabed, it felt as though everyone regained their composure and started feeling more comfortable.
We practiced several skills that we had been doing during our pool dives, including clearing our masks of water, removing and replacing our BCDs, recovering our regulators and hand signals (my favourite).
We have 3 more open water dives to complete. Thereafter, we each have to sit for a multiple choice question test and upon passing, would finally be qualified open water divers. How exciting!
Here's a pic from our first open water session (I can't remember who took the photo but the camera belongs to Susan):
I really need to start looking at underwater casings for my GoPro. No dive would be worth it without that little device :)

First open water dive
Seems like just yesterday that I experienced my first breath underwater during our first pool dive but guess what, we've completed all 4 of the required pool dives already and we'll be having our first open water dive in the sea this week!
I'm a little nervous but apparently Timothy, our instructor has told us that we all seem to be doing fine (except maybe for Jane).
From what I understand, your first sea dive will make or break you. You'll either love or hate it from then onwards. I'm certainly hoping its the former for me.
Taking the part-time certification hasn't been easy as I've had to juggle between studying for the test and refreshing my memory regarding all the skills I've learnt (still got to brush up on clearing my flooded mask) as well as my day job.
However, this has allowed me to be one step closer to my dream...visiting Mabul and Sipadan!
If everything goes according to plan, I should be able to realize my dream in February 2016, when everything at work should have been settled and I should have obtained my licence.
Oh well, can't wait!!! Bring it on, sea!
Ending my post with this meme/pic, enjoy!
