an experience

yes, we have decided on going for the diving course after so much talk about it. actually it was a pretty last minute thing and there was actually no time to consider much. just decided on fri and then off we go for the theory lesson on the following mon.

coming up next is the pool lesson which we have to learnt all the techniques within half a day before we go into the open sea. it was really tough and not as easy as it seems. for one thing, the tank was already damn heavy and i really think how are we going to carry it up the boat after the dive when you are feeling so tired. the other thing is the buoyancy. learning how to stay at a certain level without having to float up and down. it's really difficult.

i have also learnt to appreciate the air that we breathe. everyone takes it for granted. but i really appreciate breathing on land normally. i must say it is really difficult breathing thru the mouth in water, at least for the beginners.

nevertheless, i think the real experience will come during the open water dive. i hope my back will heal by then as i have unfortunately slip and fall at the pool and really have diffculty bending now. look forward to the trip but at the same time feel really nervous.
