Sunday was another terrific day… I, Audrey Tan Shue Ting, went diving without Hus (instructor) on the trip… Being put totally in charge of Deroy, Linden and Jarek… the only thing was, I had never dove in Hantu… Although that was scary, we had an instructor and a dive-master from Big Bubble Centre to guide us.
Haha.. then that made it really easy. We started with mac breakfast, then a good 2 hours wait at RSYC (republic of Singapore Yacht Club) for the boats to arrive. That was boring, and make me sleepy.
When the boats finally arrived, we boarded and set sail… dove at 1440hrs. we dove in our buddy team as instructed by Hus, I buddied Linden and Deroy with Jarek…Linden and I lost our group at descend on the 1st dive… He couldn’t descend because he was a little too buoyant with full wetsuit… So the both of us dove on our own… although I was a little scared, I presented myself calm… Always look good… For the first time since my advance course, I navigate using compass alone. I’m always blessed to be diving with Hus or other more experienced diver… I wasn’t too bad… I was not lost as I know I had to compensate the distance with the current… *weet, I’m so proud of myself* I couldn’t wait to tell hus when I ascended and looking at the boat from a distance… Like a child getting a report card with excellent results to show her parents… I was thrilled…
The visibility in P. Hantu… is abt 5m upon descend, considerably good for our waters, it reduced to 2-3m halfway thru the dive when current began to build up… green water.The 2nd dive is at 1640hrs, vis was 2-3m, we dove in a group… nobody lose nobody… Great!!! The boys could hold their stops with current, so proud of them being Open water students, less than 10 dives… They’re so going to be great divers…
Kudos to our very strict instructor, nasty and harsh words…
