19th to 20th Dec. - Koh Tao - Advanced Open Water Diver

The Advanced Open Water Diver course was 2 days full of reading, training and diving. In a group of 4 students (2 Israely, 1 Canada), one dive master Iain and one dive instructor (Suki from China) we were trained 2 must and 3 optional skills.

My buddy Michael and me decided for:
> peak performance buoyancy - learn to balance better in the water
> dive navigation - use the compass
> deep dive (30 meters) - nothing special
> search & recovery - use and train search patterns to find things under water and bring them up safely
> night dive - dive with under water lights

So now I am Advanced Open Water Diver, which is the second level & allows me to dive down to 30 meters.









Nadines certifies to Open Water Diver (max 18 meters). Perfect, so now we can go diving together.

A pitty, that Michaels girlsfriend (Monique) skipped the practical part because she got scared of it all.

Anyway, we all had a good night out to celebrate our success. Too bad, that Nadine is having some stomach problems. So, we will see the doctor tomorrow.
