PADI Advanced Course - Day 1

Jan 31st. Time for some more classroom action as we have to learn a bit more theory before doing 2 more dives today. There are 5 in the group - all of us passed our Open water course the day before yesterday. We have 2 compulsory dives (Navigation and Deep Dive) and then 3 optional ones. The ones we have gone for are Naturalist, Multi-level and a Night Dive.

Dive 1 - Naturalist (No this doesn't mean dive with nothing on)

Best dive yet - saw so many different types of fish, coral etc - water was really clear and it felt really relaxed now we are all confident of diving. Had another cheeky visit to see Nemo's house - the tiny baby Nemo was having a snooze in his anenome.

Dive 2 - Navigation.

Passed all the skills - had to navigate in a square using a compass and various things like that. Visibility not so good this time but still a great dive.

Pa-nang curry for dinner then an early night as we are on the morning boat for our 30 metre dive tomorrow. Hope to see some sharks too.
