Day Two Scuba Training

Second day learning to Scuba in the Philippines. Conditions had improved so we were able to dive right off Alona Beach today. After learning about dive planning and calculating safe nitrogen levels, we hit the water for our first dive of the day. We practiced some skills including breathing using your buddies alternate air source, and a Controlled Emergency Swimming Ascent. After we'd completed this we headed off to explore again.

We rented a GoPro from the dive club (as our underwater case for our 360 got lost in the Italian post... Grr) but fortunately we were still able to get some video and photos to remember this awesome experience.

We were able to get two dives in today, and it was quite incredible the difference in visibility between the two. Plenty to see, including a box fish, clown fish, garden eels, tonnes of coral and anemones, and some other weird and wonderful ocean life.

After two dives we were pretty beat, so we had an early dinner and straight to bed. Final day tomorrow and then we'll officially be scuba divers!Read more
