Under the sea

Good day lovelies 🙂 I’m back from Pulau Perhentian, Kelantan. Spent 5D4N at Shari – La Island Resort with The Quiver Dive Team. Oh, and yes, me is now certified open water and advance open water diver! I’m very proud of myself to have qualified for 2 licence in 4 days. Of course it’s not mission impossible (I did it) but it ain’t easy too! It’s stress and tiring.

I stayed at Coral Bay most of the time, but Long Beach is seriously more pretty :p sands are smoother (less rocks and shells) and it’s really a better place to snorkel.

I know I don’t look anywhere close to being good in this pic.. But this is the only picture I have with my instructor aka sifu – Vikki Reid. She’s from England. Strict on land but real fun under the sea 🙂

My other sifu – Small John, trained me well for night dive, 40minutes under 2.5metre. I think I improved a lot on controlling my buoyancy under that shallow depth.

Believe it or not, I love the feeling under the sea 🙂 it’s amazing! I was so excited swimming with the fishes, looking at them, spotting and identifying the livings of this mysterious world. It’s a whole new world to explore. Now Keeper is a Licensed EFR and Rescue Diver, my parents feels safer for me to dive with him. Hence… Definitely more diving trips.

Signing off, Sylvia.

Blue skies, big sun, here I come, beach!

As promised, photos from my Monday beach readings!

The boyfriend and I classes don’t start till Tuesday, which give us more time to study and chillax. Anyway, this week, we went to Williamstown’s beach. Don’t come during the weeken, its usually crowded, that you couldn’t find a spot.

Arrived to the beautiful beach.

Study station set. Now’s just me, towels, sun screens, taxations notes and “disturbing” boyfriend.

With love and compassion,
