Last pool dive

Okay, last night I had my final pool lesson and next week it will be off to Tioman for the open waters. Having gone for three pool sessions, I finally managed to gain courage to take off my mask and put it back on. That was the challenge I had not been able to surmount the fear of really taking off the mask.

My instructor, Jimmy, is really very good and patient. I'm glad he will be going on the dive with us next week. Hmm...I've already got my mask and wetsuit, costing me about S$250 due to the prescription lens. Now, I've got to get gloves, booties, and torchlight which will probably cost me another S$100 easily. So diving is an expensive sport but it is quite exciting. Hope the open water dives would go well.
