RE: Getting my diving certificate - Join me on my journey to go restore coral reefs.

in #sports6 years ago (edited)

Nice article!

What I loved is that you are "free in the room dimensions". On the land you mostly just have infront/behind/sideward to you. In the water you additionally have above/below to you. And you can swim on the back and just enjoy the waves on the surface. :)

The first lessons of PADI take place in "confined water", for example in the pool - as you write - or already in shallow water in the sea.

In which diving area are you?

Good dives!

Hey jamiba! Yes indeed the freedom to move in all directions is amazing! Thanks for the correction, confined water, yes thats what it says in the book. We went to a pool for this.
I am diving in the Atlantic, Portugal, Sesimbra area with the school Haliotis. Visit us if you come to Portugal one day

Yeah, Sesimbra seems to be a nice spot - just saw a video of the city.

I did my diving course in Honduras on the Island "Utila" (Open Water, 285$) and went once more in Cozumel (Mexico). Would be nice to continue soon. :)

Now I'm in cold Germany, haha. But yeah. Maybe I'll come to Portugal for a short vacation in the future. I've once been to the algarve for a surfing course after finishing college. I like Portugal. ;)

How are your video projects by the way?

Wow, Utila looks like paradise! Must have been amazing to dive there, good for great pictures!! The water in Sesimbra is not that clear and they say it is not easy to dive here, but definitely worth a try!
I am actually finishing up a video project! I hope to show it here soon!
Take care there in Germany! I hope that, though it is cold, at least you are having a good time!
