More on diving trip..

Oh yeah, memories of the diving trip. I cheated arnd quite abit--being not quite up to the standard when it comes to the dive sometimes, cos I always have some trouble with the buoyancy control. But nonetheless when I do manage to fin myself around to observe some of the marine life, it was a great experience.

So I think this was like the first or second dive of the day. There were so many of us, it was always a busy time before the dive, having to prepare the equipment, strapping on the tank, checking the tank pressure etc etc etc..

The lady holding the clipboard is taking down all our tank pressures. She was my instructor when I took the basic scuba diver course last year. Think she's pretty...and she's the one with the ring on the her belly button. WOW! The guy in black is my instructor this time round.Haha..Check out his belly! Think it's cos of the booze...

Alright, then when we reached the dive site (can't remember what's the name thou) it was time to be in full gear. So it was the wetsuit, the heavy tanks, the fins and the mask. Do you know how they prevent the face mask from fogging? Disgusting as it may seem, they spit into it--yes, that's what they do, then you use ur thumb to spread ur saliva across the lens..Note: I used "they" throughout cos I don't spit, except that once when it was a night dive and I had no other options. Other than that, I use Johnson's Baby Shampoo--New No more tears formula. Haha. Well, courtesy of the female instructor.

So that's my buddy a.k.a. my brother for the dive. Helping each other to put on the equipment. Think that tank and stuff must have weighed almost 20kg on land. I can never stand up straight with it, else I might jus fall backwards. Put on the mask, the fins, and "Plop" you go into the water. Getting ready to descend...

Hopefully got more pictures to post up soon--those of underwater. But I have to wait till I get them. When you take pictures underwater, you are not supposed to breathe. That's the key, else you see no one in the pictures, except the stream of bubbles going up to the surface. Wahaha. But it's tough, cos once you hold your breath, you would start to float. Oops...sounds so much like me.

Alright that's all for now. Next post shall be on my work and colleagues.
