I'm now a Open Water Diver!

4 open water dives at pulau hantu and now I'm a PADI Open Water Diver!
Yeah man, I love how it sounds
I'm a Open Water Diver!
I'm a Open Water Diver!
I'm already looking forward to taking 5 adventure dives at pulau tioman next year to become Advanced Open Water Diver!

the visibility of the water in pulau hantu is terrible!
the vis yesterday was about 1.5 m and it was considered to be very good already!
today was bad as hell!
most of the times, I couldn't even see the person 40cm away from me!
the sea bed was also full of sharp rocks so we've to be very careful to avoid getting cut!
how bad was the water?
Ok, picture this...
make a cup of milo by using less water, let it stand for 15 mins until you get a suspension
there! can't see shit!
next, stir the cup so that you mess up the suspension, now you can't see anything!
that happens when our fins stir up the soft sand below

Damn tired now...
had to wake up at 5 am on last 2 days and coming into contact with sea water makes it worse
We couldn't take much photos yesterday because it rained but we compensated with lots of photos today!
I'll be busy compiling all the photos into a video
so yeah... do come back to this space for the video
Alright, gonna take a rest now

For now, here are 2 and only 2 photos.... and a video taken in toy's r us
come back for more :)

3 PADI Open Water Divers! Me, Jeff, Karlok... Don't play play!
7 PADI Open Water Divers!
Ok ok, I think the incessant mention of 'PADI Open Water Diver' is getting annoying
The guy in the red sweater is our instructor, Lester!
He's a very nice guy!

Orpheus dive rocks!
