Deep Dive

For this dive, no photo was taken. This is because our honoured and capable photographer, Andrew Wong, went to dive together. Therefore, all of us were busy setting up gears, listening to briefing, performing buddy check, going to the dive site (Tanjong Tokong) by boat.
Early in the morning, we had a deep dive at 0830.
As an Open Water Diver, 18m (60 feet) marks the depth limit to which you are qualified to dive. Divers might be curious about deeper dives, perhaps simply to visit specific dive sites below 18m. The Deep Adventure Dive could satisfy this curiosity.
This round, we were supposed to go 30m underwater. Mr Lee said people tend to get "high" at such a depth, so he'd require us to answer some questions to ensure we could stand the depth by still having a clear mind.
Am not sure why, I discovered that I could do and enjoy boat dive (we could go deeper) much more than shore dive (max depth is usually <10m).
At the depth of 27m, Mr Lee gave me a mathematical question. The first question was 500+600-300+1000, and I answered "9000" very quickly, in less than 2 seconds. Actually I had a weird feeling after writing the answer, but then Mr Lee already took back the writing board.
Later, he gave me another question again. I thought he wanted to double-confirm I was still okay after a short while.
After we finished the dive, only he let me see the question and answer again. Ooppsss, the last part of the first question should be 800+1000=1800, but I treated it as 8000+1000=9000. Huge shame... hehehe... If I've answered the first question correctly, he would not have given me the 2nd question.
To be frank, I was quite worried before doing the deep dive. I kept telling Ivy and Andrew, not sure if my ear could stand the pain before I could reach 30m. Who knows, I was able to make it without any problem!!!
The wrong answer was purely a mistake. I still had a very clear mind. Trust me!
However, the current was pretty strong during this dive. I was uncontrollably pushed to almost surface by the strong current, and Mr Lee dragged me down again. Normally, if people could not stay underwater without any special reason, he would let you try by yourself to go down again.
This is my 3rd dive. Two more to go...

Reading your diving blog really tickle my diving itch. Can't imagine the feeling of being deep down at 30m, I think the deepest dive i had so far is probably 18m the most, or 15m.
Hope my next diving trip will not far :)
getting high and really bad math.. wahahhahaahha....
bewitched, hope to dive together with u one day.
elefen, u don't laugh. at least i'm not afraid of darkness, hohoho... :P
