TRIP TO SEMPORNA - FOURTH DAY

Today, is the day.  The most awaited day of the trip.  We went scuba diving in Mabul Island i.e Paradise 1 and House Reef.  We got ready for diving as early as possible after the breakfast.  Even though we had done Discovery Scuba Diving (DSD) before, we still got nervous.  As usual, our dive master, Tahir gave a briefing on the equipment and the skills that we need to know.

Kapalai island..

After the first diving, Tahir asked us whether we would like to do snorkeling at Kapalai Island.  Without hesitate, we just agree to join because we never know when we will back again in Semporna.  We just hanged on the life ring and Mell pulled us to snorkeling site. This time, I don't feel to kick my leg as I'm extremely tired.

As I got opportunity to observe scuba divers' community.  They are very sociable, encourage and supportive people.  They will asked, have you having fun during diving? Are you ok? Are you not diving today? Do you see beautiful creatures? and etc etc despite they knew that your are young divers or first timers.  When you are together in one boat, it feels like you are in one team either you are young diver, dive master, instructor or etc.    

Diving teach me to trust.  To trust Allah, myself, dive master, and also equipment.  When we enter the ocean, we are just a tiny creature under the sea.  Small mistakes may lead to greater harm.  The word trust is very significant during scuba diving.

With all the equipment, I can witnessed the great of Allah and the great of His creation.  Every single things under the sea are very beautiful which I can't describe in words.  Subhanallah! Subhanallah! Subhanallah!  All praise is due to Allah.

To readers, I hope that you will try scuba diving once in your life time.  It totally worth it! When you read this post, maybe I'm currently persuade my parents to allow me to become certified diver.  To Tahir, we will be always thankful to you because you are the first person persuade us to try scuba diving.
