Day 4- Scuba Diving!!! (Final Day)

I'm suppose to blog about this yesterday but I'm too tired to do so and sleepy, so I'm updating about it now la.

Yesterday lesson was great!!!!! Finally finishing our confined water and here comes the deep dive 18 meters. We done this activity near Sulu sea coral reef (is just behind Mamutik's island), the underwater was fascinating as we dive through it!!!! Coral is everywhere in different size and shape. We have our own instructor this time, and mine is CJ, not sure what he's full name are but I heard his friends call him by that name.

There's a time when its hard to balance my buoyancy underwater, hope the coral is not damage by me. After been underwater for 40 minutes, CJ and I went on the surface and wait the boat to pick us. Since we are the last ones to be rescued, CJ and I talk about our self. Well, he ask me first la where's my hometown, and looks like he's hometown is also at Tambunan, Mogong (really suprising).

when we get on the boat we back to Mamutik's island and do our exam for our diving license. One thing for sure is, driving exam is easier than diving exam, hahahaha, I ngam2 lulus. Then at 3.00 pm we got another dive to go but only 9 meters deepth la. We learn how to use compass underwater and to balance our buoyancy (means like we stay at the center of the sea without touching the bottom and using no fins).

We the last team to go home and we still have to go to PADI office to get our certificate. WOOHOO!!! Got license to go diving already!!!!  

Day 3 - Scuba Diving

Before lesson begins, we all had our few photo shoot at the beach including group photo using PADI t-shirt.

Today lesson is learning skills on confined water 3, 4, and 5. I feel so sleepy today and my face looks kinda bored. 'Napa kau diam ja ni, kau la paling senyap dlm team', my instructor said that to me and I smile and laugh a bit (but I laugh more underwater, weird~). For me the part I dislike the most is taking off my mask cuz I feel like its hard to breath (but still can breath through the air source, maybe biasa breath from nose ba that). 

The most FUN part I like is deep diving, where I could see fish swimming on top of my head. Well the deeper for today is 9 meters only la, tomorrow we'll be diving 18 meters. When I reach the bottom, I'll wait for my stella and chloe to come down, while waiting, one instructor who's with me play blowing bubble from his mouth. Not the kind of blowing yang we normally do when we exhale. Firstly, he took a deep breath and open the air source while sticking his tongue out and make an O ring shape and lastly blow lots of bubble like we do usually and aim for the ring. I give him an applause. 

He do it over again and make me feel want to play too. Then he give me the hand signak "now's your turn". So I tag along and play the game while he's watching, and I'm not doing well, hahaha, weird this when I do, i dunno how to use the tongue. When everyone's arrived we kneel down and do our final skill, that is to do all the skills we have learn before like taking off mask and so on.

The air inside my tank almost finish, and I'm starting to worry if I'm running out of air. But tdk juga la, still make it to the surface before it happens. I can't wait for tomorrow boat diving where we will be diving 18 meters deep!!!! WOOHOO!!!

Day 2- Scuba Diving

Same time at 8.30 am we gather at Sutera Harbour Marina Jeti. I don't know that we're going to Mamutik Island to do the diving. On the way to Mamutik Island (riding a boat), I feel like its about 10minutes or something and maybe 20 minutes, well I didn't really count the time so idk. When we reach on the island, first thing I saw is of course a fish and lots of it, haahaha, mmg la ba kan ikan takan harimau. First thing we do before diving is snorkeling, such a fun activity to do because we can see the bottom of the sea clearly about   9 meters from the surface. About 30 minutes I think we swim there and here, try not to let the seawater in my mouth but still I accidentally drink the salt water because I clean my air tube on the surface then the water got in.

After the first activity finished, we take a break for awhile and have a drink. I chit chat with my friends and wait patiently to go diving, feels there butterfly in my stomach. Then the second activity was started, we've been giving a short briefing about the basic how to wear your equipment, what must you check with your buddy, hand signal, and things that we will do under the water.

For today lesson we finished confined water 1 and 2, tomorrow will be learning confined water 3, 4, and 5.
I'm closer to my diving lesson!!!! XD (P/S : sorry I don't have any picture to show because malas mau tangkap gambar and busy underwater learning,)

Day 1- Scuba Diving (Briefing)

Oh my God!!! I'm confused what song to sing on 31st July. Its Talent Competition For Best Talent Sub-Title on that day at Shenanigans, Hyatt Regency Hotel. I was thinking of dancing while singing at the same time, yet I can't find a perfect song to sing for that (there is actually but I can't reach the key). If I excluded the dance part there's a few ideas in my mind.

Song Title:
1. You Belong With Me (Taylor Swift)
2. Mamma Mia (Abba) Don't know why I choose this song, maybe because of its catchy tune.
3. Greatest Love of All (Whitney Houston)
4. Ego (Beyonce)
5. There'll You be (Faith Hill)
6. California Girls (Katy Perry ft. Snoop Dog)

Damn, I'm run out of ideas!!! could anyone and I mean ANYONE just give me a suggestion!!!
