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.

Instead of the usual family gatherings in Bay Area, we packed our bags for New Zealand—a land of rugged beauty, epic adventures, and just enough unpredictability to keep us on our toes. Little did we know, this trip would push us out of our comfort zones and into the heart of an unforgettable adventure. The Start of Something Big We left San Diego with excitement buzzing in the air, cruising up to Los Angeles for a late-night flight.
