Regardless whether you're a beginner or not, there is always something new to be learned and diving is what I've chose to learn.
For those who love diving should know PADI is the world leader in diving training, when you see this sign it'll always brings you an impression of good and safe diving standards. The PADI instructors live up to those standards to make sure the course and experience is the most safe, fun and unforgettable time you'll have in life!!
How is it feel like when you're underwater. It feels like you're living in the water, another awesome world you're in with all sorts of fishies and creatures surrounding you like your buddies. To get a diving license is like how you get a driving license. You've to go through theories and practical and exams. The diving course fee is vary it can range from an affordable to an extreme price (this depends to which diving centre that you've confronted). You can choose to have your course locally or internationally its all up to your choice. To me, I'd prefer to have it internationally for some reason and Ao Nang, Krabi was the place I've chose.

The course itself takes you about 3 1/2 days but you have an option to shorten your course duration by completing your theoretical part online through PADI e-learning course and pay less for your dive course later on. There of course you'll need to show your theory result to your dive centre is you've passed the exam. But please take note that e-learning course itself has it cost as well, which is about USD$120 (+/- MYR 360). When you calculate the fee at the end you'll actually noticed that separate course is way more expensive than you do it once in a go so why do I have to make myself paying more for the same thing, right? Well, as I said its all up to your choice whether which way you think its best to you then just go ahead, follow your heart and make your dream come true.
doing something silly to cover up my excitement.

18th August 2011 is the most memorable moment of the year. This is the day that I've completed my course and I'm now officially a certified diver!! Yay!!
