SSI CERTIFIED OPEN WATER DIVER
well, first time i have plan to visit WAKATOBI exactly with no plan at all, i just suddenly wants to learnt about diving but i wanna visit new place at the same time, Bali and Jakarta is bore me, so i choose WAKATOBI, booked first time on june 2015, but i have so much problem and to leave on unbalance mood will just ruined my trip, so finally after i'm facing all my problem, i reschedule the trip to 1st august 2015. they said after you had breakup, you should do something that make you feel cool, lol, thats why i took my chance to learn SCUBA Diving here :p
this place is amazing, i love ocean so much, and the simplicity of this city makes me more in love. i've met great people along the way, and they help me through those fear of staying underwater, it wasnt easy at first then by time i'm really enjoyed this so called SCUBA diving.
the lesson took place in Hoga Island, it took around 15minutes to get to the island, but the island was so pretty and white sand beaches, it was just amazing. on those 3days i did SCUBA Diving, and that was true, Indonesia not only pretty up there on the land, but the richness of the underwater world will make you fall in love more harder, i heard the story from my good friends in National Park, you can everything here, from sharks, to whales and sunfish, everything! can you imagine how crazy rich Indonesia is?
i learnt SSI SCUBA Diving with employee from National Park of WAKATOBI, they were already get used of amateur diving and this is the first time for them also to get SSI license.
day 1 and day 2 mostly i learnt about theory and the function of the tools that will be use for SCUBA Diving
day 3 is the fist time i tried dive, i did 2 times dived, one for the 5 metres level to get used with the tools, at first i had panic attack, because you must get used to breath through mouth and the silence of underwater makes you feel so weird and i tried to breath and afraid i will choke, but then on second dive, we reach 10metres nd i started enjoyed the diving itself and the coral already pretty and nice to enjoy.
day 4 is to repeat the day before learnt about the tools and some techniques, mask techniques, BCD and how to manage the underwater panic attack, and i dive until the depth of 15metres
day 5 is for the fun dive and i tried the depth until 20metres max, because the licensed is for open water diving, the max of the depth only 18metres to 20metres.
the next day when i continued my journey to Tomia Island, i tried also to dive in Tomia, i did 2 spot dive, it's mari mabuk and Hondue, both are amazing spot! i just felt bad because august is the season of high ocean current, and im still beginner of this new underwater world, so it's pretty tiring to swim against the current. but it was amaxing and i see nemo with it's cute anemon house :") remind me of findind nemo :)) ahahahah
it was one of cool experienced i ever had and of course it did made me feel cool :p ahahaha and it was fun! i decided to like SCUBA diving despite its one of the risky activity ever ^^ and ill try to SCUBA all the great diving spot in indonesia :)
