The objective of this trip was actually to get more of our club ( S P Setia Sports & Recreational Club; SSRC ) members to certified as a Open Water Diver. However, dummy like me who can't float and swim well ( even though after a few intensive trainings given by 1 of my colleague; a certified swimming coach... sigh... ) So, I decided to just take it as a leisure trip with lesser $... I'm the Club's Secretary ma... : P
However, with the intention of just to relax myself / take a break down in Tioman Island, I just can't resists the beauty of the ocean when I 1st step my foot on the island and I decided to take the Padi OWC ( Open Water Certification ) course which I decided to drop initially. It suppose to be a 5N4D certification trip where you need to study ( go for classes; reading ), do some assignments plus undergo a few ( shore + boat ) practical dives. But, it turns out to be a 6D5N trip to me cause I need to further polish my buoyancy skill before I can get my certificate ( my instructor hold back his signature coz I can't reach my buoyancy )... Sob sob sob... : (
Anyway, it was really a fun trip though and I had no regret to stay for another day to complete it together with J, my gal buddy who face the same weakness + Alv, who gotto stay back for the sick of taking care both of us... Thanks man... : ) We finally able to get our buoyancy set ( it was easier to reach our buoyancy during the dive after we had changed our BCD to a larger size, probably bacause of the kid size BCD that just couldn't support us well... and we should change that long a go... Sigh... ) and went for a round tour during the last open water dive while polishing the buoyancy skill. Approx. 2.5 ft long baby shark, huge sea cucumbers, beautiful corals... and I just can't hardly wait till the next dive with this wonderful gang of 'Setia Open Water Divers'... ; )
