After a tiring day, we recharged a bit and get ready for our day 2 challenges. I suppose, day 2 will be more relaxing cos there isn't going to be skill demo but more of getting ourselve aquainted to diving. It will be nice to have a leisure dive.
Macdonalds Breakfast
We left for our day 2 dive on a bigger boat
Equipment Ready????
Enjoying the scenery on the way to our dive site
Soon, we are all called up to the front deck of the boat for our briefing and theory lesson. Our instructor taught us basic navigation skill and go thru all safety check and procedures with us again.

Soon, we reached the dive site and get ready for our dive. Did our pre-dive safety check and one after one another, we jump into the water.

We did some basic skills and for te first time, we get to dive away from the anchor line (safety, grouping area). I wanted my wife to have the compass as I want her to overcome her navigation fear. I am fairly good at using the compass.
My decision was right, at the beginning, she was not very sure but I told her to lead and that forces her to set the bearing and dive out. To my surprise, she kept her course and even managed to dive back to the original location. Job well done!!!!
With that, we officially passed out as certified diver under the standard laid down by PADI.

Cheers!!! We are divers now!!!
We board the boat one by one and unrig the equipment. We now set our course home. Many of us gathered that the front deck and the instructor tell us more of their diving experience and of course to encourage us to go for the advance diving course. YES!!! We will be doing the advance course in early may 2009.
Home Sweet Home
Our instructor issue us our diver log book and we record readings of our dive for the first time.

We are all damn tired and we headed home to rest. I slept from 3.00pm - 7.00pm. Frankly, still not recharged yet. But wife is hungry, so went to Upper Thomson Rd, Longhouse for our Prawn Noodle.
