After a week of resting from doing any dive or teaching I was finally offered by a friend to teach 4 enthusiast diver to be on Friday. It was a great news since I still have few weeks before going back to Layang-Layang Island again for another 6 months of bliss and excitement. The only down turn for this course was the weather. The last open water course I conducted was great. The weather was on our side, the visibility was amazing for Kota Kinabalu water (10 to 15m).
Today however, has been raining for almost 3 days now. Even though it was not as bad as 2 days ago, the drizzles just kept on showering even now as I am writing. The sea was a bit choppy in the morning with a lot of annoying surge and murky water. Amazingly, the rain and the swell did not shut their excitement which had provided great help to me and my assistant. Even the 27 centigrade of water and the less than 2 meter visibility failed to stop them.
Fortunately, the water got much calmer right after lunch when we were set to plunge into another session. even though the rain still went on, visibility improved to 5 meters at least and the session went well in the end. They all managed to complete and had gotten more than halfway to open water diver certification. Well done guys. Another day tomorrow and you all will be proud to claim yourself as scuba divers and join the colourful diving community. Maybe one day I will get to dive with them again somewhere in the globe where there are infinite possibilities.
