THE FIRST POOL SESSION
Just got home not too long ago. Was Day 2 of my scuba diving course. Gosh, I really had heaps of fun today, really enjoyed the session. Had our very first pool session, which also equates to mean that I finally got the chance to feel and experience what it's like to actually BREATH underwater for the very first time. It was way cool!
Though it was a pretty long day...all was good! Arrived at the WA Dive Center around 9am, after which we headed down to Beatty Swimming and Leisure Complex where our pool session was to be conducted.Coz our dive group was really big, we had to be split into 2 groups. So my group met our new dive instructor today...Brent. He's really cool and nice, had loads of fun learning from him...easy to get along with and he teaches pretty well....clear, to the point and he really takes the job seriously. The most surprising thing that I found out was that he was the same age as me...ok, not being mean, but I seriously thought he was like 25. The weather was pretty ok, was a little windy but was pretty surprised that the pool water was not as cold as I expected it to be...in fact I found it rather warm.
Learnt quite a bit today, and it amazing I tell you! We learnt stuff like how to assemble and check our equiptments, how to use them, techniques and skill and much more. My dive buddy, Dwyane, yea...he's cool too. He's from down south of Western Australia-Albany, studying marine biology. Really getting more and more excited...hahaha, in fact it's really not as hard and scary as I thought it would be....till tmr after my second pool dive...yuppie!!!
