Remember all those simple things.

Written by ChloeTiff LMT

During those days,
We just don’t know who we are.
Yet we are not shy,
Not to avoid.

Who are we to be separated,
Not to be together?

Things doesn’t get along well,
That came in different colours.
God has given one heart,
Which shows the love.

There is nothing wrong,
When will we have the freedom?

Open Water Course Day 2, 3, and 4

Every day, we ought to gather at Sutera Habour Marina Jetty at 8.30am. So on the first day when I reached there, my oh my I can see lots of tourists were walking around and I’m trying my best to find “Borneo Divers” booth because I only knew Sea Quest. Then, I saw the others and they were just sitting there, waiting for the rest and the boat as well.

Mamutik Island is our learning and diving spot. It only takes about 10 minutes to reach to the island and that is my first time to go Mamutik. To tell you the truth, I only went to Manukan Island and Gayana Eco Resort. No worries, I will be visiting more islands when I can effort a short trip. Well, my ride on the boat was awesome and I just love it when the easy breezy wind blows when I reach the island. I saw lots of tourists were playing around, having their sun bath, snorkelling as well as diving too.

When you walk along the port to the ground, lots of little fishes were actually underneath the walkway and there are making a circle. Borneo Divers spot is right at the corner where we need to walk about 2 minutes and there are few tables and chairs surrounding. Sometimes we just chill out, chit chat or even singing there and lunch will be served.

Every day of classes, we get to learn what we have learnt in theory but it’s in the water and this is all taught by Mae but the last day Collin was the one who taught my group for the compass. We get to learn how to set up our own equipments, how to take off goggles and wear it back, change regulators, breathing, hand signals, and more until how to wash our equipments and diving suits after each use. And mostly, how to walk like a diver haha. So we spent most of our day in the island until 4pm then on 21st July 2010 we are all certified! Check out the pictures and pictures do tell everything! Love ya lots!

Open Water Course Day 1

Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia, 88000
Tel: +60 88 222 226

First day of class, I remembered it was on 18th July 2010.
We are there to learn all about theories. What are the hand signals while diving (because we can’t talk in the water!), what are the do’s and don’ts, what are the differences between each equipments, lots more including the health requirements to the side effects/ sickness that caused by diving (if, we used the wrong method), and more.

So basically, I think this is an important class because without this we might not have an idea what we need to be aware of to dive. On the other hand, diving is really fun. So, make sure you put efforts and listen to the first class during the course!
