Start uga_filter: <p style="text-align: justify;">On the recent post, I have shared bits of the training with you. On this one, I will uncover more about the training but not the whole thing. I only share with you the skills I find really useful and at the same time a mandatory to master with.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Okay, so your instructor will teach you how to breath from the regulator. In the open water scuba diving course, the number one priority is to make sure a student can handle and maybe solve a problem no matter how small it is.  These skills will help you a lot everytime you make a dive. These competency  will also give your instructor better credibility unless you want him or her out of business.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">So here are some of the most critical parts of open water training which will determine whether you are up for it or not. Number one and main factor of failure is the <strong>diving mask removal and clearing </strong>mastery. We, you and I are humans. We are not meant to breath in water. The moment water gets into our throat forcefully or accidentally, the brain reaction is to tell you to stop breathing, after a minute or more the brain experience oxygen starvation and eventually shut off the system temporarily, the main factor of drowning.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">Mastering masks skills are so important they were placed in the first few parts of your training. Not towards the end. As you know, while scuba diving, your environment is no longer on your side. Without a proper technique to manipulate and adapting to it, you will meet trouble. Water will always try to sip into any empty spaces such as your diving masks. If you can think of any way to permanently prevent this without spending on another hi-tech and expensive full face dive masks, please share with me.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">I found out that many of us have issues with the sea water sipping into our dive masks. It is not a comfortable to think that you might breathe water in through your nose. At some point it can triggers the fear of drowning which always resulted panic and inability to think rationally.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">The best way to overcome this problem is get familiar with the diving masks. You can start by doing some snorkeling and swimming, preferably in the sea. Most of the time, your instructor will give you some tips as well during the course but it is best to have experience it first than to discover you can&#8217;t complete your open water course just because you can&#8217;t perform masks involving skills underwater.</p>

Start uga_filter: <p style="text-align: justify;">I am back to bring you more about the crazy little thing called scuba dive. This time I am discussing about what does it takes for any person who wants or desires to get wet and wild.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">So what do you need? I would say the most important thing to have is your guts. Come on guys, there is no point if you freak out just by the sight of the ocean. make an appointment with a psychologist or who ever you can help you to get rid of the water phobic you have. But honestly, who really afraid of water. No one otherwise someone is going to have issues with hygienes.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">Don&#8217;t worry if you are not good at getting along with others. Once you are involved in scuba diving, you will learn how to in no time at all.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">Next, please people, learn the basic swimming. I&#8217;d rather sitting with my cocktail mix on the lounger than diving with with someone who couldn&#8217;t swim both underwater and at the surface. Too risky, too many paper works. Instructors, please make sure your student can at least swim no matter in what styles of swimming. Don&#8217;t compromise your credibility.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">People, please make sure you know what you are about to face and experience. Understand that you are going to stay submerged for almost an hour at depth for almost an hour. Make sure you fully understand all the risks involved when participating into scuba diving. As a professional we are very susceptible to legal action simply because a diver didn&#8217;t fully understand how to minimize risks and how to avoid mishaps. Not good for the industry.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">Finally, you don&#8217;t have to be an environmental activist. All that is required is your sense of respect for the nature. Regardless underwater or dry lands.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">To wrap it up, anyone can be a scuba diver providing you have the desire to do it. Anyone, even a person with special condition. Just remember to include all the basic requirements I put above.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">Come back for more next time. Next posting will be more interesting. To the pros and experienced one, comments and tips are very welcome.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">Don&#8217;t worry if you are not good at getting along with others. Once you are involved in scuba diving, you will learn how to in no time at all.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">Next, please people, learn the basic swimming. I&#8217;d rather sitting with my cocktail mix on the lounger than diving with with someone who couldn&#8217;t swim both underwater and at the surface. Too risky, too many paper works. Instructors, please make sure your student can at least swim no matter in what styles of swimming. Don&#8217;t compromise your credibility.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">People, please make sure you know what you are about to face and experience. Understand that you are going to stay submerged for almost an hour at depth for almost an hour. Make sure you fully understand all the risks involved when participating into scuba diving. As a professional we are very susceptible to legal action simply because a diver didn&#8217;t fully understand how to minimize risks and how to avoid mishaps. Not good for the industry.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">Finally, you don&#8217;t have to be an environmental activist. All that is required is your sense of respect for the nature. Regardless underwater or dry lands.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">To wrap it up, anyone can be a scuba diver providing you have the desire to do it. Anyone, even a person with special condition. Just remember to include all the basic requirements I put above.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">Come back for more next time. Next posting will be more interesting. To the pros and experienced one, comments and tips are very welcome.</p>

Start uga_filter: <p style="text-align: justify;">For this first post of my favorite activity, I am going to describe scuba diving in my very own way. I want to share with everyone about this underwater passion in the easiest and simplest way to understand and to promote enjoyable readings with hope that it can benefit both beginners and experienced divers.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">Right, first thing first. The introduction of scuba diving. Scuba basically stands for <strong>Self.Confessed.Underwater.Breathing.Addict. </strong>This sounds so much better than Self.Contained.Underwater.Breathing.Apparatus which sounds so plain and boring right? Haha but seriously, scuba diving is meant to be fun and exciting.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">It is nothing like snorkeling where you just hover at the surface waiting for the Nemo to lunge a surprise attack at you. It is nothing like staring into an aquarium at the poor fishes waiting to be fed. Not exciting at all.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">Trust me 60 percent of nowadays scuba divers around the world, professional or non-professional are proud people and will most likely to brag about their feats underwater. 25 percent will most likely to show off their futuristic dive gears. 10 percent of them most likely to become accessories freak and another 5 percent are old school divers who sticked with their antiques equipment.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">In diving community, almost everyone had met with each other or heard about one another. It is a massive social networking that goes around the globe and just gets bigger every time. Amazing stories can be heard every time you meet other divers. Experiences either nice or not so nice shared with each other without hesitation.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">This is my personal definition for global unity, maybe not so but this is where every person shares the same passion, underwater and the peaceful feeling it brings to every soul who has been there. Amazing right.</p>

Start uga_filter: <p>Traveling in the <a class="zem_slink" title="Tropics" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropics">tropical</a> countries will not be complete unless you experience rain. Yes it rains everywhere in the tropical, especially here in <a class="zem_slink" title="Malaysia" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysia">Malaysia</a>. It is part of our life. When it rains for long time, we get miserable, when it stays dry for a long time, we pray for it to come. But the fact that when it rains here, it rains hard. There are parts in the west Malaysia on the <a class="zem_slink" title="Peninsular Malaysia" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peninsular_Malaysia">east coast</a> where it drizzles 24 hours for days especially in December. Picture it as snows in form of water droplets.</p>
<p>When it comes to <a class="zem_slink" title="Scuba diving" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scuba_diving">scuba diving</a>, rain can be both exciting and boring. Imagine you just completed a great dive when it rains. You get up into the boat already cold from the dive, on the way back to the resort wind blowing straight at your wet body. Nice right. It is not that bad actually. You will get your prayer for a hot shower and hot cup of drinks once you are at the resort anyway. I would like to share one of the best jokes about rain and scuba diving.&#8221;I don&#8217;t want to get wet&#8221;.  Do you get it? I hope  it does not make me sound so silly.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Well I&#8217;m done talking about rain and dive. Let&#8217;s get back to the purpose I&#8217;m writing this blog. Today, we were once again experiencing the comedian side of Mother Nature. She let MamaSun smiled on us for about 2 hours. As i wrote before, our battle with the leaked roof is far from end. While we were busy, Mother decided it was too hot and sent us her gift. It rained hard. Running down to the ladder was not an easy mission when you are running on a slippery surface with water running down. So running down was not an option. 4 workers crawling down the roof with such care it took ages. I decided to practice my &#8216;<a class="zem_slink" title="Free running" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_running">free running</a>&#8216; exercise by jumping off the edge of a 3 meters high roof. While the other 3 waited for their turn for the only ladder. Drenched,we waited for less than 5 minutes when Mamasun showed up again. Another 3 minutes, the roof has dried up. After 2 hours, we managed to complete everything. 2 more to go guys. Great job. The rain never came back after that.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As always, I decided to go for my late afternoon run. Trust me it is the best time to exercise. Weather was great, nice breeze. So I got into my trainers and started to warm-up. 10minutes into the session I was ready to go. Walked out to the runway only to greeted by massive curtain of rain out of nowhere. I had a great exercise today. Don&#8217;t you think so?</p>
