learn to SCUBA dive

From goal to becoming a dream. I would go snorkeling with my husband a lot before we got married. Going under is one reason why I go to the beach. I want to explore more, all the way down. But here in the Philippines having scuba diving as a hobby is quite expensive. So for now, it will remain to be a dream. And hopefully when I’m I’ll be blessed with all the extras needed, I could make it come true.And even share it with my children.

I learned to scuba dive in 2000 and have advanced to the level of Dive Control Specialist (Dive Master/Assistant Instructor).

Eventually. Eventualllyyy. Sounds fun and adventurous! Which I lack both of. ;)

Sweet! I’ve been putting this off for years, but finally got my PADI Open Water Certification in Thailand. What a beautiful place and an all-around excellent experience. I was getting a bit frustrated with some of the skills and a little a sick of gagging on water when I had to do the mask removal/replacement skill, but I made it through and it was totally worth it.

On my first open water dive, I saw a leopard shark, huge lionfish, tons of coral, sea urchins, anemones, and more fascinating stuff than I could list. I can’t wait to get down there again!

officially scuba certified!!
next step, dive catalina!
and get my own regulator and bc…
and wetsuit…

it’s through the katy community education program. it’s only $195 for 11 2-hour classes, two 7-hour classes and it includes equipment rentals. Sweet!

Looks like so much fun.

Totally worth it. Next I want to become a rescue diver!
