I am now a certified diver.
It all started when I saw the deal on Groupon, contacted sunshine friend and purchased the Groupon.
So I am the main culprit behind all the hard work, phobia, scary thoughts, bla.. bla.. bla...
After procastinating for so long... We finally booked our theory lessons, pool lesson and open water dive, a week before the Groupon expire.
It is a good thing that Groupon has an expiry date, especially for people like us.
Theory was boring. It dragged till 10pm++. HATE IT!!!
Den, its pool lesson. I did not manage to swim 200m. But i did swam 100m. What an achievement, for me, at least..
I panicked on my first dive down the pool and i shot up the surface straight away. I move like a tortoise and my instructor scolded me instead of teach me the correct way. Anyway, I HATE her!!!
I had nightmares after my pool lessons. I woke up crying. I dreamt my gears would have problems and I will drown.. I was terrified.
He noticed my fears. He signed up for the dive package and went with me.
Journey to Mersing was tiring. Checked into the lousy room with Peiqi and Stella, a girl from KL.
Woke up next morning, had a light breakfast and off we go for my very first shore dive.
I have to carry the heavy tank, walk towards the water and swim to the platform. Tough job.. The waves is always pushing me back to the shore. I am glad that Monica is our dive master for the open waters. She is much more assuring than Jenni. I had lotsa fun with her.
Dive down to fast on the first attempt. I have to swim back up to the surface after 2.5m. Cannot equalize. Monica came up, instructed me to go slow and remember to equalize along the way.. Tada.. I did it!I am 5m under sea level.

I am under the sea
Dive 2 shore dives, had lunch and its time to go out the sea.. He is joining me this time. My personal guardian.
The 3rd dive is much better. More like a recreational dive.
My buoyancy gets better after each dive. My nose bleed after the 4th dive and I spat out phlegm with blood after the fifth.
Anyway, I am proud to say that I am now a certified Open Water Diver
