More greater diving

Day 5

Today we graduated to become certified open water scuba divers!!! We had our graduation ceremony underwater :) our first dive of the day was at Milln Reef- The Whale at 07:23 to 16.7m and the second dive at The Tennis Court at 10:50am to 14.6m. after the second dive- we got our certificates- HELL YEAH! The third dive for the day was at Gordon’s Morning at 15:07 to11.5m, this was our first solo dive without an instructor. My buddy and I saw three turtles and clown fishes (nemo). Being the first time on our own, it was very strange! I felt like an alien intruding on the creature’s world. Like giant freaks bubbling our way through the underworld. Some fishes will stare at you face to face and clams open and shut on you.

We also had a night dive! This felt even weirder! It’s all dark around you and you can only identify people by a glow stick they wear on their tank. Sometimes when you fall back and watch people swim by, it looks like a clip off a spacey movie. Totally awesome, indescribable


We saw reef sharks! They came to the surface as we were feeding the fish. The sharks tried to chomp down on some fish but the fish were too quick for it. Now you can imagine the feeling we had when we got briefed on our night dive..
