PADI Open Water

I just finished my theoretical test for the diving certificate. A lot of questions but they were easy and I got to do it here at “at home” so it was quite easy. Yesterday I did some confined water diving by the beach to learn some basic stuff (that I basically knew already) and today we went out by boat to some nice coral reefs.

At the reefs I did some more exercises and stuff like that but got some free-diving (that is, diving without having to do anything but enjoy yourself and watch the fish). I saw a blue-spotted stingray and I got to pet it! It really wasn’t afraid of people and just kind of swam into me. Pretty fun.

Tomorrow I will go out with the boat again. Because I was supposed to go out and do more exercises tomorrow but I already finished them, I will just go out to have fun. I think I’d rather just lay in the sun than spend a couple of hours on a boat, but what-the-hey diving is pretty fun!
