Might sound funny but it
actually can get boring to live in an island paradise. It is
fantastic to swim, dive, hang out in the village, sit under a coconut
tree, but after some months it can make you feel like you just wanna
run and scream. Have to do something!!! Too much energy!! Too much
hammock time! But to do what? Maybe I should do something useful, for
body, brain and future, like divemaster.
I did rescue diver with a
local instructor from Ampana and we worked well together so I decided
to continue to divemaster with him instead of going to one of the
resorts here in Togean. Anyways is better to have a teacher
who actually has time for you and doesn't have to take care of tens
of other divers at the same time.

We did theory, confined
water exercises, DSD and a few dives in Ampana and surroundings and
the rest in Poya Lisa in Bomba and in a dive centre in Wakai. Might sound stupid but
my biggest concern was that I have to open my eyes in the water. Yea
I can take off the mask and dive without it, but blind. In the water
my eyes burn, burn burn... But as it had to be done, it was done. And
now I know I can open the eyes, I don't like it, I don't see much and
there's more tears in my eyes than sea water. But I can do it.
The rest went pretty well,
I learned a lot and now I'm done. Divemaster :) yay!
Yes, a long and informative blog update again. See, I am getting lazy…
