PADI Open Water Diver Doing the course by yourself is as fun! Daniel met up with a lot of new friends during the course.

Adventure Filled Course PADI Advanced Open Water Diver In order to complete 3 more adventure dives to earn their advanced certification, the trio made 6 dives which include diving to 5 wrecks, 30m depth with 3m vis, night dive and face strong current. This is definitely not a normal course, it was filled with experience!

POLITEKNIK KUCHING SARAWAK The very first group of divers Thanks to Mr. Sofian's perseverence and encouragement for the last few years, he finally able to share his passion with fellow colleagues. This group will be the very first scuba divers from Politeknik Kuching Sarawak.

Sharon Sagan Charles Fisk(UK)

First for 2008 Sharon Sagan is a sweet young lady and very environment conscious. She puts a lot of effort in mastering her skills. Charles Fisk gave up his job in UK, travelled half way round the world, to complete his scuba diving certification. He looks forward to do as many dive as possible during his long vacation. Both of them did a good job during their training and I can see the both of them will be doing a lot of diving in the future. We were also lucky enough to encounter the irrawady dolphins on the way out to see during the last day out.

Ng(MAL) and Carlo(CAN)

Vegetarian meets Krazy Filipino Talk about different walks of life. Ng only takes one meal a day which is lunch and he only eats rice with vegetables. While for Carlo and me, we just can't live without meat! They both work hard for 3 days, dive during the day and study by night to earn their PADI Open Water Certification. Good job guys! >>More of pictures of them

Last Group in Kuching for 2007 They had to battle ZERO vis to complete their final open water due to the start of monsoon season and I had to pull them as close as 1 foot. To my surprise, they were quite calm and did their training skill perfectly but I don't think they notice!

Diving trip to Talang. Teck and Wesley. Thomas and Teck diving together at Kota Kinabalu

Rare Occassion Thomas and Teck are priviledge to have done their course with Wesley whom is has physical challenge. They share a good time learning how to dive and at the same time, cordinate and manage diving situation among fellow divers. It was not only an experience for them but for myself too.

From Shanghai Amy, a soft spoken young lady who knows how to maximize her time. Taking a vacation before going back to start her new job, she used the opportunity to earn herself a PADI Open Water Diver certification here. Guess where she would be going on her next vacation? Look forward to see her back here soon.

Don't judge a book by it's cover Mikki showed great determination in achieveing what she set out for. She took her time and tried her best to do it own her own. On the other hand, I find her to be extremely amuzing to dive with. You think nemo is cute? Try dive with her.

A New Adventure Starts David and Danny are buddies from water polo and both likes fishing. Now as  the completed their Open Water course, a new life time adventure starts. I dive with them after the course and just to let anyone who read this know… if you are looking for dive buddies, you may like to look them up.

Mom the Diver Tony got his PADI certificate a few years back and now it is Elaine's turn. Very soon, it will be a whole family going diving and I cannot wait to dive with them. Congratulation Elaine for earning your dive certification. It was not only a challenge for you but for me too.

Big Brother and Younger Sister It was wonderful experience for myself doing Keith and Kimberly's dive course. They are always looking out for each other playing the role of a big brother and younger sis.  They are a great encouragement to diving activity and hope more families will follow.

Angler to Diver These four guys- Yong, San, Ting and Simon has been doing sport fishing for a while, from deep sea to rivers of Sarawak. Earning their PADI certification has enhanced their connection with the sea.

A Sweet Diver When she first told me she be going off to start her career at the oil rig, I thought she was joking. My opinion changed the minute we start our practical training at the pool. Good job Sarah, hope we get to do some leisure dive together soon.

Proud Achievement A long time dream has just been turned into reality. This is what Norman and Kenny feel when they completed their Open Water course. Deep inside, they now the new journey just started. Norman said "The only regret I have is... I should have done this long time ago".

Joe, Maddy, Hannah, Jones and Me.

A Handful of Fun I started the 2007 dive season with lots of fun. Instead of me, these group of medical students from UK showed me a great time during their training. Not forgetting Jones who was a great dive buddy.

Note: I apologise if I miss out anyone of you.
