1st Time Scuba Diving Experience

in #travel8 years ago

Hello everyone,

What's on your thoughts when you saw this? Beautiful, isn't it? Good news is the location is in Kota Belud, Sabah. Doesn't heard too far right from Kota Kinabalu city and only took approximately 1hour and 30 minutes to reach there.

Named as Usukan Cove Lodge and this is the center if you want to go diving & snorkeling at Mantanani Island, where we went in this entry.

Lets begin!

After about less than 30 minutes on the boat, we finally arrived. Time to gear up! This is my first time diving and I can't describe how nervous I am during that time.

Equipments has been checked and safe to use.

Diving in and there's a few moments that I can't handle the pressure when we went lower and I show a sign to going back to the water surface. It's very painful in my ears but the dive master keep telling me what to do. Luckily I wasn't panic and adjust my posture and get myself comfortable.

Enjoyed the nature

It's very enjoyable and wonderful moment for me to see with my own eyes and went lower to 10 feets. Not bad as the first timer, the dive master really trust that I can do it and yes I did. Now, if there's another trip to Scuba diving, I would not say NO. Absolutely YES from me.

Till the next entry, see ya!

It's been so long since I dived ... One of the best experiences in my life .. the freedom of being underwater and seeing the schools of fishes

Totally agree, can't describe how it feels...just wow

The first and last dive was in 1991. I was a student at Labuan boarding school. One of our teachers arranges an activity for us. Little did I know, it was to learn scuba diving from the Navy personnel
It was the best experience I ever had.
Your post has rekindled some old memories for me.
Thank you for sharing.

It's my pleasure that my entry has touched the sentimental value of some individual. Thanks for support

I got good encouragement from the navy to continue diving. But never had the chance.

I wish someday i dare to dive. Lol. So intresting see you all take picture inside the water. Do i waterfobhia? Not really but im scared if someone will pull me deep in to water especially mermaid.😅

Maybe you can start with snorkeling? It's good to make you get used to underwater.

Wow! I would like to try that, but I'm the type that has a phobia about water, especially the sea. Everything comes into my mind everytime I tried to wade through. I only have the courage to go at least a waist deep.

Great view under the sea.
