1st time experience to dive without anyone i'm familiar with in a total new environment for me. Was given a 1:1 DM who lead me, into the hanging garden the weather was sunny and sea was calm after waiting long hours of our boat to come at 10am as it is a the season for booming of tourist into the city. First time experience changing gear on the boat and did a giant strike into the water. Got a bit panic at first for the equalization as i havent been doing the diving since the course so a bit messy but after a while was ok. Buoyancy was surprisingly perfect and learning to do frog kick to slide tru the water instead of the tiring paddling style.
Alongside was a Jap DM with a Jap diver onboard.
Seeing a lot of Puffle fish and saw a scorpion fish hiding in a giant coral hole. Not really liking the DM although he is alright but i don't like he is using the pointer to poke n touch the coral or support himself. I can see a big part of coral are dying in this area coz of too much pollution and irresponsible diver.
