Dive Trip to Aur!

^{Gen 1
20} Then God said, “Let the waters abound with an abundance of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the face of the firmament of the heavens.”
²¹ So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters abounded, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

=) Just back from a 5-day dive trip to Aur, West Malaysia. The sights were just amazing! We took a 10-hour journey from S'pore to the resort at Aur though, spent about 4 and a half hours on boat! It was so rocky, all of us felt like throwing up. We finally reached the resort at 6.30pm! (having left at 7pm thereabouts) Gosh. haha.. and we started our first Open Water training dive at 9am!=) hee. Awesome. =) Did some skill drills in the water and all that. It was over in a flash... and we were up in a jiffy for some hot snack. (haha EAT EAT EAT). Then some shuteye. Then our second training dive. =) then some sumptuous donuts. then some shuteye. then our 3rd training dive. oh my goodness. hahaha ..*eat, sleep, dive* *eat, sleep, dive*

didn't go for our night dive though, cos we're not advanced divers haha. Slept really late, was up chatting with the gang (Xiaowen, Dmarc, Candice, Jem, Engtze). =) haha ... lying around on the jetty deck, looking at the stars, drinking beers and just talking nonsense. The next morning, we woke up early for a pre-breakfast dive. Then a post-breakfast dive. =) Then Xiaowen, Dmarc, Candice, Shipei left for Spore. =) hehe... Certified Open Water diver loh! =) haha... We stayed back for the advanced course.

Over the next 2 days... we covered 5 specialty dives: Night, Deep, Drift, Peak Performance Buoyancy, Navigation. =) then 2 more leisure dives. then we went home. 12 hour journey can you believe it. =) The bloody boat had one engine down, and it took 6 hours! Had a good tan on the upper deck though. =) Was entertained all the way though, Wilson and Sim (our divemasters) were really funny. =) Sim's really buff though. And Wilson's a CEO. Made new friends too.=)

Oh well, that's all for now=) Will keep you guys updated if I go dive anywhere else.
