You Orda' Fwhy Wice?

Woot! Time for some diving! Started the day with going over to the dive shop and getting some breakfast since they have a bar and restaurant there. Plus you get a 10% discount if you're diving with them (Rainbow). To drink i got a fancy apple juice. Probably the fanciest apple juice i've ever had.
To eat i ordered the 'big breakfast' or something. Comes with Austrailian sausage, bacon, potatoes, heinz beans, 2 eggs, and toast! Of course i made a sandwich out of everything.
Took the bus to the harbor around 7am and hopped on the boat to our first dive site. Its been awhile since my dad and i have dove last (two years for him, and three for me), our instructor decided to give us a refresher which we both desperately needed.
Despite the rain and the murky water..the scenery was nice.


Over all the diving went pretty well. It was nice to get back in the water. What wasn't nice was diving with my dad again. He uses up his air so fast we had to cut our first dive short. Oh well. He'll get better with his air usage. The visibility was horrible. i could see probably 9 feet infront of me before everything going black, lame.
We got back into town around noon and it was time for lunch. Guess what we had? Pho! My favorite!
To drink i had a mocho latte ice thinking it would be a cafe sua da...but no, it was some crazy smoothy but still good.
After lunch i had to go back to the dive shop for my class. What class you may ask, my nitrox class! i was about to learn everything i needed to know to dive with enriched air tanks. So i can scuba deeper and longer with fewer surface intervals. Hip hip! i was really excited until i found out that with enriched air you risk of getting oxygen toxicity. Which isn't a huge deal...but if you do get oxygen toxicity you'll have a seizure and go unconscious which will lead to drowning...lemon. Can't wait!

After 3 and a half hours of class it was time for dinner! We decided to hit up Crazy Kim's. Apparently Kim has a soft spot for street children and has set up a bar, restaurant, gym, and spa to raise money to school street children in english and computers! Its good to know that me drinking beer is helping little kids learn.

After all that nitrox information crammed in my brain i was ready for some Tiger beer. Not just any Tiger beer..but the big kind.


To help soak up some of the beer in my stomach i had a juicy bacon cheese burger. The best part is that its Australian beef! Cow that hasn't been juiced up with hormones and grain to make them ridiculously fat.
Could not wait to do nitrox!
