Okay, I'm really geared up for the open water diving trip. My coursemates managed to persuade me to do the advance open water courses with them. So, it seems that next Friday, we'll be doing our virgin dive before doing a night dive. Got to know from our instructor that we'll be doing boat dive, navigation dive, and deep dive courses too in order to qualify for the SSI advance open water license.
I got my booties, gloves, and torchlight from the Scuba Shop, along Beach Road. A bit pricey but excellent service. They really take the time to explain things to you and make recommendations. So, I didn't mind forking out the extra cash all that much. In return, I got a very comfortable and nicely fitting pair of booties and gloves. My brother says he might get the BC and regulator from the shop too.
Hmm, I've been reading on Tioman's dive sites. There are really a good range of dive sites for all sorts of diving. I wonder if we will get to visit the wreck sites for our deep diving course. I can't wait to see Allah's beautiful creations...a world of its own from all the documentaries I've seen. I went for a coral reef walk about two years back and it was amazing to see the various corals and other sea creatures. Even found a catfish, sea cucumber, several crabs and a pair of mating starfishes. Yet, my guide said that it would have been more beautiful had it been high tide and everything was submerged since all the polyps were open and a lot more sea creatures were about. So I'm definitely hoping to see a lot more during the dives.
Also, I'm praying that nothing will befall my coursemates and I this trip. May Allah protect all of us. Peace.
