Sulug Island
Our first off-beach diving today. Destination: Sulug Island which is about 10 minutes boat ride away from Mamutik Island.
Virgin splash
Everybody was happily splashing into the water while the remaining dive virgins sat silently in the boat waiting for green light. "Ok! Remember what I've taught you. Do a back roll and come join the fun!", Shane giving us confident as he was checking out the water.
One by one, we took our deep breath and *spash!*
Making our first entry into the water is not something you can do everyday. Therefore, we decided to have it recorded.

Our target was to dive as deep as possible. The water was occasionally freezing while we were down under. We made our deepest record of 16 metres that day.
Exam
It was the final bit of our diving course and it was the least exciting - The PADI Open Water Diver exam. Examination was not hard at all. Most questions have been explained by Shane many times. All we had to do was to recall. The problem was the 'recall' wasn't functioning properly that day.
"Wey weyy! What's answer for question 9?"
"I also dunno lah. Ask Shane!" >>
