We learn to blow bubbles

After the tragedy we faced last year, I suppose we've recovered. Sufficiently. I don't think our lives will ever be the same again, and this will define how we live our lives out in the near future, at least.

On a brighter note, I did go and achieve one life-long dream - SCUBA DIVING ! This happened in August 2009, and it was GREAT fun!

 Redang is truly a beautiful place with lovely white beaches, clear water like glass, and totally relaxed - recommended for your island getaway!

Leisure Divers at Redang Reef Resort. Great place to go snorkelling right off the rocks to the left. Also, at night, one of the attractions is the bio-luminescent blue-green algae on the sands of the beach here - really unique!

Dive course - read the manuals and watch the DVD - yawnnnn.. i'm sure i nodded off once or twice during the presentation!

First time out learning all the pros and cons - the start of an adventure!

That's me in full gear. Heavy, this stuff.

And after all the 'hard' work - certified diver! This is the Project Aware version - made a contribution for marine conservation, read more about them from the link there. Hope my AUD30 went to good use.

And so, that was the month of August, 2009... have gone to other places to dive after that, will put up more pics later. 

Happy day to you all!
