Oh yea.. I'm officially a diver now.. after going through 2 theory lessons, 4 quizzes, 1 theory exam & 5 dives at Pulau Tioman... hahaha

Initially I just wanted to get the diving licence, just to obtain another skill. But I realised that I really enjoy diving. The tranquility, peace, calmness that you experience when you are underwater is amazing. And the marine life is beautiful. Underwater, its only you & your breathing - everything else is silence. Then you can just fin slowly & admire the beauty of Mother Nature. If you have the impression that it is dark underwater, you are wrong. It's amazing the amount of marine life there is under the sea.

Tiring as it is, but it's really relaxing. You have to control your breathing & have a calm mind in order to be aware of everything happening around you. I'm really looking forward to my next diving trip, which would most probably be my Advanced Open Water course by mid next year..
