Just got our diving CD from my friend. The only part in this picture to indicate that this was me is my freakishly stubby and same-length left hand fingers (the right one in the picture). The video was rather stupid and silly, with Hawainese backsong. But I'm sure as time goes, this too will be a precious memoir of our Bali Trip.

Diving was traumatic. The scary part is when you have to shift your usual nose-breathing to breathe only and only with your mouth. When we first get into the warm water, I freaked out because I could no longer use my nose to breathe. It was quite a scary transition, but slowly, you kinda get used to it. Although at times, you forget to inhale with your mouth and ended up panicking in the middle of the ocean.
I dont know if all diving is like this. But I was quite dissapointed because all we did was hung on to a coral reef to feed breadcrumbs to fishes. Ordinary fishes who ate and ran. Bastards. We didnt get the chance to touch them, like what's advertised. Moreover, the current was pretty strong, and the temperature was extremely cold. I ended up trembling from the cold, being pushed by the current, helplessly attempting to use 1 hand to grip the reef and another 1 to spread the stupid breadcrumbs. From this, I ended up harming my knees. I came up with scratches all over it.
Overall, I dont think I will be doing this activity anytime soon. Especially when the diving I had in mind is moving your flippers harmoniously in warm clear turqoise water with colorful fishes without any traces of breadcrumbs.
