our first dive!!! fully geared up. we all look so tired... booz.
we had to take the speedboat out into the openwaters again and got on this really unstable boat to change into our gear. this was aso the boat tt took us to the various dive sites...
anywayz trust me the gear is real heavy!!! and the wetsuit's almost suffocating!!! but once u get into the water... u are almost weighless *grinz*
the wonders of water... hiakz


the first dive was mainly abt refreshing the skills we learnt during our pool session.
clearing our masks. retrieving our regulator n so on...
i got cut by a coral immed n started bleeding. booz.
ugree ugree.
us in water!!! fantastic!!! which one am i?
try to recognise me by my snorkel color!!! it's black with an orange tape on top
(yeah im on the extreme left hand side of this pic)

me n my buddy bizhen!!!

solo pic!!! poh kept laughing at me cos he says my mask is too big for my face (even though i kept telling him i think it's supposed to be free-sized =P)

some wonders of the underwater worlds...


the rest of the dives (5 in total) were basically leisure dives!!!! happy!!! i touched nemo!!!
n fed the fishes with bread!!! n all started crowding ard me so much tt i freaked out LOL.
anyway it's really a challenge to remember to clear our ears everytime we descend a short distance. (since the pressure builds up at the ears)
but we've alr gotten use to breathing thru our regulator!!!
it's amazing how we can stay in the water so long! i feel like a mermaid!! LOL
notice in 2 of the pics... me n bizhen kept trying to get into sihui n jp's pics? lol
fun!!!! water was clear too!!!

starfish!!!!

us with our heads bobbing up n down in the open waters...
for our 1st and 3rd dives... we encountered a lot of jellyfishes... they were all around us and near the ladder leading to our boat too!!! so we had no choice but to risk being bitten :(
heard lotsa pple go "ouch ouch jellyfish! ouch ouch..." when we finned to our boat...
anyways all of us got bitten.. hurts though the jellyfishes were harmless....
:(

we look so happy after the dive!!!
heez

outside the bunk... we hanged our wetsuits there to dry for the next day... heez

at the dining lounge... the food is real great!!! n wats more they re free-flowing!!!
the angmohs all gathered to drink beer and eat crabs... lol
while the few of us settled down trying to find some lame games so we can finish our tidbits during forfeits hahz.
in the end we decided on "wu ling da hui" and "cai quan"
the forfeit? (nah not tidbits duhz rite) losers drink 1 big glass of plain water...
