mako sub-aquatics

first theory lesson for my scuba diving course, don’t know quite what to expect.

amy had recommended the naui qualification saying that it places more emphasis on safety and since the rest did not have any objections, we settled on this school, which incidentally was the same one that amy had gone to.

left work earlier today. took the train to buona vista mrt station with ky to meet up with doris and kl. transferred to a bus next to go to ayer rajah industrial park. there were only 11 of us for the class starting today. doris is the only girl.

today’s 3-hour lesson consists of an introduction to the equipment and touched on some buoyancy, pressure and volume concepts relating to scuba diving.

patrick leong, the instructor spoke in a well-modulated voice, so although it wasn’t sleep-inducing, we were pretty tired after the 3 hours since all of us had a long day at work too.

hungrily we adjourned to clementi for our dinner [supper for doris] before heading home.
