Dive Log

There are three phases of becoming a certified scuba diver, knowledge development, confined water dives and open water dives, all can be completed in 3-4 days.  As I prefer diving in warm water, I took the knowledge development and confined water dives in Bay Area and the open water dives in Krabi, Thailand.
