Scuba Oasis - Open Water Diver Course - Pool Session (05 Apr 09)

Channel NewsAsia - Tuesday, April 7
SINGAPORE: The highest rainfall recorded during Sunday’s heavy rains was 97.6mm, more than 50 per cent of the monthly average rainfall in April alone.

Thanks to the heavy rain fall, we conducted the pool session under the rain 60% of the time. We also got to stop the training half way a few times due to the thunder. A lot of unexpected minor issues happened during the training as well - short of dive weight, tank, O ring burst, etc, etc...
But at last, we MAKE it! :p

It was the first time I work with Dennis and Sonja on the Pool Session, they are lovely, we had a great fun working together. Unfortunately, Sonja is going back to Germany soon to continue her study, so we will not able to catch up with each other in coming few months time.

Anyway, let's cut the words short and let the pics tell the story. Cheers :p
