I'm sitting and staring at the computer monitor...Thinking damn, am I tired yet I had a great time this morning when I tried my first virgin dives! Yes, me, went deep down (well ok not that deep) into the south china sea, DIVING! Can you believe that? Me? haha...Even I impressed myself for doing this since never in my life I had ever dreamt about diving. I was scared of water and of that phobic area of the ocean.
Well, turned out it wasn't that bad, I was still scared (though I pretended that I understood everything the instructor taught us, and OK about everything) when the second I had all the equipments on me, (the air tank, the mast, the belt...And who knows what...) and when they wanted me to just jump in the blue ocean. I panicked, couldn't do it. I stood there on the edge of the boat, thinking no way am I jumping in now...So they asked me (patiently) to climb down the ladder and put all the stuff on me again IN the water. Shame on me...And I did the same thing at the second dive too.... :/
I didn't know where did I get the courage to dive at all, but I did it and it was absolutely worth it.
The first impression of the underwater world is amazing...Amazing you are inside of your screen savor....(ok bad example, but at least that's was what i had thought about under the water), it's so colorful, so vivid and so buzzard in a way. I loved the feeling of swimming with different kind of beautiful fish!
I am exhaustic at this moment, my ears are still suffering from the changing pressure of diving, my eyes barely open, and my brains are pretty much shot down now...But I'm content as if I was still swimming with two big fins like a fish....
Thanks Ryan, for putting me on that boat no matter what!
