Good Practice

Here is a picture of me and Tanja with two guests who completed the Discover Suba Diving Program.

Tanja has just started the instructor internship, so she came along to learn about teaching DSD's.

I think teaching DSD's is a really good way to gain experience and I have learnt alot from doing them. It is also good practice for demonstrating underwater skills which will benefit me when it comes to teaching openwater courses.

Will update again soon,

Mount Kinabalu

Since my last post I have climbed half way up Mount Kinabalu. We were unable to go to the summit because the accommodation at the base camp was fully booked, so next time.

The half way point is called Layang-Layang and it is a 4 km climb from the bottom. Then you have to walk 4 km back again. 4 km doesn't sound like a long way but its so steep it feels like double that.

It was a tough climb even to half way but its the best thing I have done so far here in Borneo. The weather was really kind to us as it didn't rain, but you can feel that is gets much colder the further up you go.

Coming back down is just a hard as going up but also alot of fun. I really hope I get another chance to go again and then go to the summit.

Here are a few pics from the climb.

DSD Picture

Here is a picture of everyone after they had completed their DSD program.

I was assisting the new instructor that has just started with Downbelow. It was a good day and Richard managed to show the guests a turtle on their first dive.

Update soon
